{"product_id":"cleomella-arborea","title":"Cleomella arborea","description":"\u003cp\u003eBright, unusual, and almost endlessly in bloom, \u003cem\u003eCleomella arborea\u003c\/em\u003e — better known as Bladderpod — is a quirky California native shrub with a sunny attitude and serious wildlife appeal. Clusters of vivid yellow, four-petaled flowers appear nearly year-round in mild-winter climates, followed (and overlapped) by the plant's signature inflated, papery seed pods that dangle from the branches like little lanterns. Soft, silvery-green foliage rounds out a graceful 3-to-5-foot mounding shrub that always seems to have something interesting going on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tough evergreen perennial hardy in zones 8-10, Bladderpod thrives in full sun and the leanest, driest soils, requiring essentially no summer water once established. It's deeply drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and a magnet for native bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Even its specialist herbivore — the strikingly patterned harlequin bug — adds to the wildlife show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it in a hot, dry border, on a sun-baked slope, or as a quirky focal point in a California-native garden. Pair it with sages, buckwheats, and silvery artemisias for a planting that practically hums with life all year long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annie's Annuals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43541661581371,"sku":"AA652","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3455\/6475\/files\/Cleomellaarborea2.png?v=1779576075","url":"https:\/\/www.anniesannuals.com\/products\/cleomella-arborea","provider":"Annie's Annuals \u0026 Perennials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
