Product Information

Flowering from late spring to early autumn, the dramatic golden-yellow blooms are composed of five bracts rather than petals and can grow up to 6cm (2½in) across, making a striking contrast against the 3-lobed, thick, flannel-like leaves.

The glorious lemon-yellow flowers have a slight reddish tinge to the centre and fade to pale orange as they mature. They're freely produced too making a superb specimen plant for any garden.

In UK gardens Fremontodendron is normally treated as a climber and this large, robust and evergreen shrub is ideal to grow against a sunny wall where it can be trained and tied into a trellis or frame on the wall as it does not climb naturally.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience.

Very easy to grow and one of the hardier varieties, Californian Glory is happy to grow in most soils, including poor soil. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L Pot, grows to 8m x 4m and flowers May to September.
