Positive palmbob On Aug 1, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

smaller shrubier version of the regular type with nice, small, butterfly-shaped leaves. flowers are summer to fall and also smaller than E humeana, with a yellow-orange strip along the tubular portion. It's a nice, small bush for smaller gardens. May be good for containers, too... not sure.
