Carpenteria californica ''Elizabeth'' - Bush Anemone
This many branching dome-shaped evergreen shrub is a striking California native. Growing to 6-8 feet, it 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. ''Elizabeth'' is a cultivar that was selected because of its masses of smaller white flowers and more compact growth habit. The pure white flowers grow in erect, compact clusters which hold over 20 flowers.
