DENDROMECON harfordii. Island bush poppy. This is a most unusual large shrub or small tree, native to California’s Channel Islands. Its distinctive features include straw-colored stems, 3" pointed-oval, greyish green leaves, and a profusion of 2-3" brilliant yellow, broad-petalled blossoms, beginning in spring and only gradually dwindling through summer and fall. A cutting-grown selection from Santa Cruz Island, made by our friend Tim Ledwith, will be sporadically available.
