Beautiful, showy & EXCEPTIONALLY HEAT & DROUGHT Tolerant this California native shrub isn’t even fazed by temperatures of 120 degrees F. Traffic stopping during its bloom season in June & July, this densely branched 4’x3’ hummingbird magnet bears large (3”-4”) cheery yellow “snapdragon” blooms held tightly on branches & nicely highlighted against the bright green linear leaves. Not only are the flowers FRAGRANT, they attract BEES & BUTTERFLIES too! Fast growing, this wonderful habitat enhancer will go deciduous with No Summer moisture or you can keep it green with an occasional watering. Can be pruned into a nice rounded form. Native to Southern California & San Mateo County.
