This species is found growing in open woods often on limestone outcroppings. Plants bloom in May to July with branched shrubby stems up to 40' tall. (one source lists plants with stems only 10' tall) Leaves are hairless and leaves are lance shaped with some plants having linear leaves, gray green in color and entire, 3-6 inches long. Flowers are rust brown to yellow, or orange yellow in color. Flowers are 1' long and have red veins and red spotting in side. Racemes are nodding at the top. Plants grow from 15' to 50' tall, 18' wide and bloom in late spring to midsummer. This species has been called difficult to grow but if its requirements of good drainage, (especially in the winter and spring) and full sun are meet, it should form a sensational evergreen sub-shrub in the rock garden or along a rocky path.
Zones 4-8. Plants are native to eastern to southern Spain and Northern Africa.
200 seeds.
