Carpenteria californica

Carpenteria californica - Bush Anemone
This attractive California native shrub comes from the foothills of the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is a much branched dome-shaped evergreen shrub, growing to 6 to 8 feet tall by 4 to 5 feet wide and displays white clusters of flowers with bright yellow stamens in the late spring and summer. Another interesting aspect is the old bark which peels to reveal the newer yellowish tan bark. Plant in sun or light shade. It is drought tolerant if in well drained soil. It is oak root fungus resistant, but is susceptible to aphids which disfigure the plant. Hardy to about 20-25 degrees F.
