Jamesia americana var. rosea
Jamesia americana var. rosea var. rosea
The rose waxflower is a beautiful deciduous shrub native to California and Nevada, producing delicate pink-tinged blooms in late spring and early summer. It performs best in well-drained, slightly rocky or sandy soil with partial shade and consistent moisture during the growing season. Light pruning after bloom helps maintain a tidy form and promotes vigorous flowering the following year.
