This selection was made by Yucca Do from near the Sierra Chiquita Mountains in Mexico. This plant was selected because it was a more compact and greener plant within a population of plants that were more open and blue-green. Yucca Do Nursery notes that this plant was not damaged at 15 F and Tony Avent at Plant Delights Nursery notes it is hardy to the single digits though care should be used not to allow it to remain too wet in winter.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
