These Flannel Bush hybrids are mounding evergreen shrubs that grow 3-5' tall x 6-10' wide. They have soft, dark green leaves and produce blooms ranging from red to yellow. They are drought tolerant.
Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
