Neutral palmbob On Apr 1, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

can find nothing about this Australian native, with 1" diameter spherical pink-lavendar flowers in spring. Shrubby plant that appears to be at least partially deciduous. Does OK in zone 9b, but not sure its ranges. Short blue-green leaves on branches in a whorl pattern.
