The one species of Tree or Bush Poppy is native to California and northern Baja California, Mexico. It is ideal when grown in warm climates with other drought-resistant plants and natives, such as Manzanita and Ceanothus. Flowers mass on its many branches from mid spring through summer among leathery leaves. Prune to encourage bushy growth after bloom.
A year-round bloomer in warm climates, this poppy grows to form a large shrub or small tree.
