Read about Abronia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

ABRONIA (from Greek abros, delicate, referring to the involucre). Nyctaginaceae. Sand Verbena. Trailing and upright annuals or perennials, with fragrant verbena-like flowers, suitable for baskets, rockeries or the open border.

Herbs, often viscid: leaves opposite from swollen nodes, unequal, petioled and entire: flowers 1 to many in a bracted peduncled head, small, salver-form, red, yellow or white, showy in mass, fragrant; stamens mostly 5, unequal, joined to the corolla-tube and included within it; calyx tubular and corolla-like, 4-5-lobed, the base persistent over the 1-seeded ovary or fr. About 30 species in Amer.

Abronias are garden annuals, or treated as annuals, of secondary importance. They are low or trailing plants, rising from 6 to 18 inches high and spreading widely. They are best adapted to open sunny places and light soil. A. umbellata is the common garden species, the trailing stems often reaching a length of 3 to 5 feet, and the flowers appearing all summer and fall; in mild climates, the plant volunteers from self-sown seeds. It is useful for borders and for baskets and porch-boxes, when a change or variety is wanted from the use of verbenas. Under glass, the plant is nearly perennial.

The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture. It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text.
