A rare species endemic to the Monterey Peninsula and surrounding area, selected by Dave Fross.  'Wavelength' is a beautiful, dense shrub with grey-green leaves and a fine, velvety texture. The bronze hue, on newly emerging spring foliage, makes an especially fetching contrast to the white flowers that are an important nectar source for hummingbirds and bees.  The lovely rippling form and low expanded width make this selection an excellent candidate for stabilizing a sloped site.  Appreciates some summer water, well-drained soil, and afternoon shade inland!! Coastal folks will love this one. Evergreen.

Mature size: 2-3 ft T x 8-10+ ft W

Minimum temperature: 10° F*

*The minimum temperature is usually listed as 15°F, but our baby plant did not skip a beat at extended cold down to 13°F in the 2024 winter.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
