Unique addition to my collection
As an owner of a retail nursery here in Oregon, I would definitely recommend K.Van. K.Van is my "go-to" supplier for viable and healthy plants with a high rate of germination and yield rate. I've ordered from them for the past 5 years and will continue to do so.
Very cool native to my area
Just left to the winter rain this bloomed and surprised me with flowers the first season. So odd looking but cool.
