This sub-shrub is a hybrid between the Mexican native Trichostema purpusii and the California Trichostema lanatum. It boasts of bringing together the beautiful flower of T. lanatum and the water tolerance of T. purpusii. Many lovers of the Trichostema lanatum will rejoice if they've struggled with establishing it in the past, all thanks to the hybridization efforts of Patrick Worley, a name many aficionados will recognize. 

Its flower spikes are less tightly packed and woolly than T. lanatum. 

Prefers full sun, well-draining, lean soil. It's best to get its roots established before the heat of summer, so plant in fall or early spring and water only once a week as soon as the dry season is in full swing and temperatures start hitting mid-80s. This shrub does not require water after its first growing season. 

Mature size: 3-4 ft T x 3-5 ft W

Minimum temperature: 10º F (will likely resprout from the base of an established plant if frozen to the ground, down to 0º F)

Not recommended for hot AND humid climates.

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.
