Fremontodendron 'Ken Taylor' (Flannel Bush) - This great plant is a hybrid created by Ken Taylor at his native plant nursery and garden in Aromas, CA. It blooms golden flowers with a darker orange outside petals in the spring and summer and grows to only 5 feet tall and spreads to at least 8 feet. A great plant for slopes or other well-drained sites. Full sun, no irrigation water needed once established. It is thought to be an F2 hybrid of F. californica ssp. decumbens and F. 'Californica Glory'.
