Forest Scurf Pea : Rupertia physodes

Plant type: deciduous, perennial
Height: 2-3'

Light: part sun
Soil: dry to moist (but well draining)

PPL: YES

Fitting into the ever-coveted 3' max height low shrubby flower (think birchleaf spirea), this one's a late summer bloomer (the pollinators thank you in advance).

White or creamy flower bunches, but look for green or purple tinges right at opening. Drought tolerant with deep, rhizomal roots. Slightly hoppy smell.

Alias: California tea
