A southwestern California native sub-shrub with small, narrow foliage that flowers in late winter to summer with highly fragrant, bright yellow, penstemon or snapdragon-like blooms. Goes dormant in late July-August, like many of our western natives, and returns in full force each winter.

Grows best in full sun or part shade in WELL-DRAINED soil. Its native habitat is rocky ledges in chaparral. Low water in California, likely no supplemental summer water required in NW Oregon.

Mature size: 3-4 ft T x 4-6 ft W

Minimum temperature: 0º F

Not recommended for hot and humid climates.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
