JAMESIA AMERICANA
JAMESIA AMERICANA
This hardy shrub will not bowl you over, but it does have quiet charm.
It is easily grown but seemingly by very few people. It is the plant I am most often asked about here when it is in flower. Many horticultural boffins are defeated by it!
HEDYSARUM MULTIJUGUM
A leguminous shrub from California with magenta flowers in early summer.
It is short, quite neat, likes the sun and should be more widely grown.
PSORALEA GLANDULOSA
A bushy shrub up to 10' high and best grown against a sunny wall. It survived last winter in Kidderminster but has not yet been tested by a really nippy one!
The white-blue pea like flowers last for some time and the leaves can be made into a refreshing drink! (Known in Peru as the Jesuit's tea tree!)
