Fremontodendron californicum crassifolium ssp. - Flannel Bush

Description

Compact form (for a Flannel Bush) reaching 8' high by 8' wide. In May and June, it is smothered with flowers of a light, clear yellow. This shrub actually came from the Santa Cruz Mountains, making it an example of our local form of Flannel Bush. As usual, it needs full sun, fairly good drainage, no overhead water, and no summer water after its first summer in the ground.
