Lotus dorynium Hirsutus

This is so pretty, I am intrigued that its name means hairy? and found it is also called Hairy Canary Clover, yet its a sub shrub. Is it easy to grow?

Another one I have never seen. Good colouring.

I want to run my hand over it! :-)

Agree it is very pretty

Drc it is easy to grow it came through the winter with no problems .. I took seeds from this last year and have 6 small plants growing , I can send you some seed if you like ,it's approx 3ft wide x 2ft tall ,... the colour and foliage is so different Ojib , Muddy it's soft .. Thanks Carol

Thanks Amy, I would love some seed.

Really, a very pretty bush :)))

Its a new one for me too, love the silvery foliage against the pale pink flowers;0)

I have this too, and it grew so well last year I needed to prune it. The official advice was to cut it hard back in late winter which I did...but sadly it has taken until now to even begin to recover. However, it is growing! I need to remember that up here we 'never' prune stuff so hard as down south!

Thanks kat /Carole / Karen I haven't pruned this at all it kept a good shape through the winter , I'm not going to prune it unless it looks to be absolutely necessary ...

Yes, I would agree. Mine were massive last year, really big. I had three planted together in the gravel at the front. I took one away completely and pruned the other two hard back. I think if I'd pruned them less hard they would have been absolutely fine. They are recovering....sloooooowly! :D It's a beautiful thing. I remember last year the wind flattening mine and ruining the shape :(

Ohhh goodness....I love this Amy...:>)

Well Amy, I dont know if you sent me the seed but I've grown this. Jogged my memory as to what they are as lost the label - again. Thank you.

A lovely plant, very hairy!!

I have babies too from your seed Amy :-)), I grew this years ago but one year it just suddenly died so pleased to be able to grow it again, thankyou :-))

Karen lets hope yours recovers completely for another year .Thanks Motinot it is different , I think I did send you some seed Dawn ,if they didn't grow let me know I can send you some more seed .. Thanks Angela , Kathy I'm pleased yours have grown I have 6 healthy little plants ..

Hi Amy, I have lots of young ones thanks, thought they may be your offspring. Doing well, thank you.
