This is "Swan River" from Monterey Bay Nursery. It's a hybrid from UC Santa Cruz.
Is this considered an annual or perennial in your state?
Beautiful color, whether purple or blue.
Would any one have seeds of this? If so, I would appreciate trading for some.
Thanks, Maxine
Neat pictures, Monterey. Have you seen this website: http://www.meden.demon.co.uk/Malvaceae/Alyogyne/Alyogyne.html
I believe that I have either "Monterey Bay" or "Purple Delight™," and I also have "Santa Cruz," which is a much lighter lavender. It's neat that yours changes color to blue.
Maxine, these are perennial shrubs/trees in our zones. I don't have any seeds right now, but the seeds are difficult to get to germinate. The link that I posted above says they need scarification for successful germination.
Great pictures from you both. Very striking color.
Thanks so much for the info. Really great to see such beautiful pictures when we have 20" of snow on the ground.

Very nice:-) Thanks for sharing those.
Neat! I love this flower!
Sunset has you in a different zone then 10 why is that?
Monterey, I'm in USDA Hardiness Zone 10, and Sunset Zone 23.
Monterey, you are so sweet! My garden is entirely too crowded, and I have so many things in containers. I would do things differently if I owned this property, but we just rent here so I have to make do. I have promised myself to be restrained and not take on any more than I already have, but I'm constantly making exceptions to the rule! LOL!
Have a great day. Here's some Shirley poppies that I grew last year. I ended up pulling them out though because my husband complained that they look too much like weeds!
