Plant description
This is a particularly hardy variety which has a more upright habit than most. The handsome leaves are narrow and light green, but without as many reddish brown hairs underneath. Large, cup-shaped, cream white blooms are produced from late summer to early autumn, and it will produce flowers when young. Like all other bull bays, it can tolerate most soils but needs protection from the wind.
