Orchid rockrose. Evergreen shrub growing to 4' tall and wide, often shorter in stressful situations.

The flowers also feature a contrasting yellow cluster of stamens in the center. A fine choice for a limiting environment of salt spray and cool winds. Relatively long-lived, tolerant of heat and aridity as well as accepting many soil conditions. -Native Sons Nursery
