Crowea exalata 'Parrys Hybrid' - A compact shrub to 2 feet tall with aromatic narrow 1 inch long oblanceolate acutely-tipped rich green leaves and pink flowers. From spring to fall appear the 1 inch wide waxy bright pink flowers that are displayed outwards along the stems with one flower per each leaf axil near the branch tips. Plant in full coastal sun or where base is shaded to dappled shade in a relatively well-drained soil and give infrequent to regular irrigation. It is tolerant of beach side conditions with some protection. Although we have not tested this plant to temperatures much below freezing, Jo O'connell of Australian Native Plants reports it has proven hardy to 22 ° F at her Ojai nursery. We received this plant from Suncrest Nurseries under this name but have found little on its origin. The genus Crowea is named after James Crowe, an English botanist.
