Beautiful photos Baja.
I got this from Bandon Beach, Oregon last summer. They have gone through one winter here, but it was very mild. I have one on the covered deck in a container, and the above photo was planted out in the raised bed last summer.
This is about 20 feet above my head to the lowest clump.
Here they are growing with Sedum spathulifolium.
Where in Oregon did you live?
