Baja Fairy Duster
Description
Baja fairy duster is a constant bloomer that grows about 3'-5' tall and wide. Plants are evergreen in climates without frost; otherwise, they will freeze to the ground. Blooms are most abundant in spring, but continue year-round for constant interest. It is drought tolerant but grows fairly quickly with additional moisture. Full sun will promote flowering. It needs little shearing. It attracts hummingbirds and bees and provides larval food for butterflies.
