Beautiful, soft pink flowers give no hint to its drought and heat tolerant nature. Blooms heavily early February through May, even longer in some regions. Small fern-like foliage and arching branches are attractive for arid zone gardens. A perfect addition to xeriscape gardens seeking the cottage or country style. Plant in foundations or mixed borders. Beautiful in the desert landscape as specimen or in group. Semi-evergreen shrub. Full sun. Slow growing, 1 to 3 feet by 3 to 4 feet
