Does anyone have experience of growing (or obtaining) this lowish spreading grey-leaved yellow-flowered Californian shrub?
It seems to have quite a lot going for it, eg:
- 'Dependable plant with attractive silver foliage that contrasts beautifully with darker foliage of Ceanothus and Rhamnus. Panicles of bright yellow flowers shroud the plant in spring. Recommended for butterfly gardens.'

And apparently, it responds well to pruning, including producing new shoots on even old wood.
