Isomeris arborea
“Bladderpod”

Isomeris arborea is a very tough plant with a strange but nicely ornamental countenance. The three-lobed leaves are blue-tinted, & the showy yellow flowers give way to large, specious seed pods that rattle when dry. Hummingbirds, butterflies & bees appreciate the flowers as a nectar source, & the flowers appear year round, although the plants do go deciduous under stress of extreme drought. A member of the Caper family, & there are rumors that the flower buds can be pickled & eaten in a similar way! Grows 3-6’ high & wide, is deer resistant, & is tolerant of heavy, clay soil if not overwatered! Woohoo!
