One of the most beautiful in form and flower, 'Myrtle Wolf' is compact with particularly bright pink flowers. New leaves emerge flaming red-orange and chartreuse, then become blue-grey when mature. Native to California's Central Coast, South San Francisco Bay Area (Pajaro Hills)—a Chaparral plant.
Named by the former UC Botanical Garden director, Roger Raiche, for a lover of pink flowers, benefactor of the garden, and early member of the California Native Plant Society, Myrtle Wolf. The CNPS has a scholarship named in her honor for college students studying native plants.
