Dendromecon
rigida is a dependable source of early Spring color. The Bush Poppy
blooms from mid Winter through Spring and has a few flowers much of the
rest of the year. Dendromecon rigida grows in an upright fashion,
typically to about 8 feet and about half that width. Like most
natives Dendromecon rigida will only tolerate a small amount of Summer
irrigation. The plants are not dense enough to be a good screening
plant but have striking enough flowers to use as a specimen.
