Dorycnium
hirsutum * Gray Broom
|
The soft gray foliage
of Dorycnium hirsutum would be enough reason to plant this one. I
chose it on that basis. I had the pleasant surprise of finding the
white-fading to pink flowers in the early summer. The plant gets to
18" tall and 4' across. Dorycnium hirsutum is hardy to the low 20's. The
flowers fade away and don't need to be trimmed off. It has been a
great low maintenance plant. And it give a few Gray Broom seedlings to pass
about each year.
