December 15, 2006, Newsletter Issue #139: Carpentaria californica.

Tip of the Week

Carpentarias revel in full sun in any free draining soil. The white Rose of Sharon type flowers are borne en masse during June and July.
Grows to 10 feet is evergreen , does not require regular pruning and is easy to grow.
The downside is that Carpentarias are tender: they will take some frost, but not long periods of intense cold. Worth planting against a south facing wall.
