Famous for large showy flowers, this shrub will grow large (6-10 feet tall, 20 feet wide) and needs annual hard pruning to manage the size. Woody stems grow prolifically from rhizomes. The large flowers have six wrinkly white petals that surround a bright yellow cluster of stamens (the colors have earned its comparison to a fried egg). It was nominated for the California state flower in 1890, but lost out to the CA poppy. Patience is required to establish this plant, as it's summer deciduous and winter dormant. Once established, pull shoots to effectively control aggressive spreading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type: \u003c\/strong\u003ePerennial herb shrub, CA Native\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e 6-10' tall; up to 20' wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLight: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFull sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSoil: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePrefers sandy\/gravelly soil with fast drainage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e NEVER irrigate once established!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBloom: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhite\/ yellow flowers in spring and summer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOther Notes and Uses: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMatilija poppy shrubs are deer resistant.
