This Channel Island native grows well in the shade of
oaks and other large trees in inland valleys and direct sun near the coast.
Galvezia speciosa grows best in conditions of light shade in the inland
valleys and it enjoys full sun near the coast.
Once established the Island Snapdragon needs little additional water. I have grown
Galvezia speciosa in rather dark
conditions and it will still bloom but is rather leggy. The cultivar
Galvezia speciosa firecracker is more compact.
