(Cutting Grown)
Cantua volcanica is a stunning little shrub native to Peru, where it is now endangered. Its purple/blue flowers peak in clusters throughout the cooler months but will often bloom during the warmer months too.
The plant prefers full sun and well-draining soil, and can grow up to 3-4' tall in rich soil. In leaner (succulent) soils it tends to stay a bit lower and has a more open look.

I have lusted for this plant for a few years now. Waltzing Matilija is the first retail source I've found. Having purchased plants from this nursery before, I knew that the plant I ordered would be in excellent health. The entire online shopping process was simple and efficient. I arranged to pick up my plant in person, and when I did so, it was just as expected. Great plant for a dry garden, should be more widely grown. Thanks to Waltzing Matilija for making it available!
