I live in Southern California. I'm not sure what our Zone Number would be
but you can probably look it up on google. My unofficial assessment of our
local year-round weather would be that it almost never freezes and then only
briefly. Late July, August, and September can get pretty hot (90 deg F or
even a little over 100 deg F). Annual rainfall is approx 14 inches.

As far as the name of the plant is concerned it is referred to
unscientifically as a Tea Tree although I'm not sure why. Maybe the leaves
can be dried and brewed into a tea. I do not know the scientific name.
It's a pretty hardy plant and bears leaves all year long but only blooms in
spring and early summer.

Sorry I can't be more definitive.
