Jamesia is a shrub growing to 1 to 2 m tall and to 3 m or more broad, with opposite simple leaves, with a serrated margin and a crinkled surface. The flowers are produced in erect terminal panicles, each flower white, with five (rarely four) petals. The fruit is a dry capsule with numerous small seeds. It is native to interior western North America. There are just two species in the genus.
Water:
Originating from moderate moisture environments, jamesia retains water efficiently, preferring watering every 1-2 weeks. Thriving outdoors in temperate regions, it aligns its growth cycle with seasonal rainfall patterns for optimal water uptake.
Propagation:
Propagation of jamesia can be achieved through seed sowing and softwood cuttings. Success hinges on moderate light, well-draining soil, and consistent moisture. Key steps include stratifying seeds for 3-6 weeks and using rooting hormone for cuttings, while maintaining indirect bright light.
