Garrya elliptica 'Evie'

This winter blooming native to Southern Oregon and coastal California is an evergreen shrub with an upright habit, 8-10’ tall and half as wide, more compact than the species with longer, dramatic, 8-10” long, cream tassels in profusion Jan – Feb; foliage is dark green and tough. Deer ignore it, drought doesn’t faze it. You can almost plant it and forget it – but don’t forget to ADMIRE it, especially when it is blooming!
