Water as we know is vital to our lives as well as our crops and using it sparingly is a global issue. So using it to a minimum is essential for all our sakes. So heres a real gem of a plant, that requires NO WATER through summer at all. Fremontodendron californicum is a beautiful free flowering plant that will grow to about 15ft with bright yellow waxy flowers throughout the summer. It will survive on rainfall during the beginning and end of the year. In fact if you did water this plant it would die within a week or so.
Iv suggested this plant to a holiday home owner of Villa care menorca who has a dry garden with zero irrigation, it will give the rest of your planting a splash of colour , an attractive ornamental tree that certainly deserves a place in everyones garden. There are two other cross species of this plant, which are called California glory and Fremontodendron mexicanum. Plant it behind a border of blue lavendar or Rosemary latin name Rosmarinus officinalis to compliment the strength of colour. Pics of this amazing plant attached.
