A Bit More

Blessed with a graceful umbrella shape, the feathery foliage of this small evergreen is a dramatic lavender that turns blue-gray with age. Masses of fragrant yellow flowers stop the show from early winter through spring. Named for Australian botanist F.M. Bailey, whose extensive travels produced six books treating the plants of his country.
