Romneya coulteri | Matilija Poppy

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Romneya coulteri forms upright stems clothed in glaucous blue green leaves that are deeply cut and softly textured, giving the plant a bold yet airy presence. In late spring through summer, immense white flowers unfold at the tips of the stems, each bloom displaying crinkled petals surrounding a dense boss of golden stamens that create a dramatic focal point.

Native to southern California and northern Mexico, it inhabits dry hillsides and drought tolerant landscapes. In garden settings, it is used as a backdrop in sunny borders and naturalistic plantings, where its expansive flowers and architectural foliage provide seasonal emphasis.
