Dendromecon harfordii

Plant Description   An excellent shrub for a mixed planting or an out-of-the-way site due to its rugged native disposition. Distinctive appearance from spring to fall when bright yellow poppylike flowers stand out against dark, bluish gray foliage. Provide excellent drainage and prune to shape after bloom, heavily to limit broad spread or height.
