Growing to a compact 3' tall and wide, it's known as the "Mountain or Shy Rose", with dense branches of needle-like leaves and, from mid winter to late spring, beautiful, small, pendulous, wine-red flowers. Rarely seen in cultivation. Relatively fast growing. Grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Good along the coast. 5 Seeds Germination: 21 days Pre-treatment: * Not required ** Smoke treatment should accelerate germination. Click here for smoke treatments. |
