- Characteristics
- It is a compact shrub growing to a height of about 1m by about 75cm wide. The leaves are entire, finely pointed and 15-20mm long by about 3mm wide. The upper leaf surface is rough while the underside is covered with dense silky hairs. The leaf edges are rolled to the underside. The flowers are formed into terminal clusters. The 5mm long perianths are apricot in colour while the deep pink styles are about 10mm long. This hybrid is said to be sterile.
