Best quality plants for creating a stunning, thriving garden.
The Matilija Poppy, or Romneya coulteri, is a striking California native shrub-like perennial. It reaches 4-6 feet in height and spreads to 8 feet wide, featuring attractive silvery-grey foliage. This plant is renowned for its large, 5-7 inch diameter fragrant white flowers, characterized by delicate, crepe paper-like petals and vibrant yellow centers. It spreads via underground runners, so care should be taken when planting to avoid disturbing the roots. This resilient plant is tolerant of various conditions, including wind, heat, clay, and sandy soils, and is drought-tolerant once established. It also boasts resistance to deer, rabbits, gophers, and fire.
