Dendromecon harfordii / Island Bush Poppy

Island Bush Poppy is kinda like the Kim Kardashian of our native shrubs - Kim is considered the prettiest of her sisters, and many consider Island Bush Poppy the PRETTIEST of our native shrubs (Wow, did that get your attention?).  Blooming almost 12 months out of the year with bright yellow flowers and beautiful silver-green leaves, Island Bush Poppy is a truly stunning site in Spring.  Tolerating Sun-Part Shade and reaching 5-12 feet high & wide, Island Bush Poppy does have a few issues that make it a little touchy and delicate in the garden. To succeed, make sure it receives just enough water to keep it happy, especially when establishing it the first year.  As a  poppy, it has a brittle root system that needs very gentle handling.  Don't miss our Bush Poppy in front of the nursery, blooming over 13 months out of the year (oh wait, there's only 12!)
