Plant of the Day
Friday 28 May 2021
Here Fremontodendron 'California Glory' (flannel bush) has been trained as a wall shrub against this sunny, warm wall. This is a vigorous, large shrub with evergreen, hairy leaves that can cause a rash or skin irritation so it is best to wear gloves when pruning this plant.

Fremontodendron ‘Ken Taylor’
By crossing the hybrid flannel bush ‘California Glory’ with the low-growing Fremontodendron californicum ssp. decumbens, this much shorter bush was created. It is listed as reaching a height of up to 5 feet, but our plant at the Ruth Bancroft Garden is only 2 feet high. The golden-yellow flowers and fuzzy leaves are similar to those of ‘California Glory’

Ants stealing a nectar snack from a Fremontodendron at the gardens! I didn't see a label for this tree (and don't have a Jepson handy 🙃), so it could well be any of the three species in the genus: F. californicum, F. decumbens, or F. mexicanum. Known as California flannelbush, F. californicum grows in a diverse range of habitats in California, Arizona, and Baja California. F. decumbens and F. mexicanum have much narrower ranges- they're endemic to the Sierra Nevada foothills and the Peninsular Ranges, respectively, and are federally listed as endangered (F. decumbens is listed as F. californicum ssp. decumbens in ECOS). These stunning trees are cultivated as ornamentals, so this particular plant could even be a hybrid. #Malvaceae #Fremontodendron #flannelbush #nativeplants #plantnatives #california #wildflowers #floweringtrees #ornamentalplants #ranchosantaanabotanicgarden #botanicgarden #botanicalgarden #ants #nectar #orange #yellow (at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BupZGexlpoQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vdulvouhtl1b

Fremontodendron ‘California Glory’
The shrubs in the genus Fremontodendron are called flannel bushes because of the coating of fuzz on the leaves, but contact with this fuzz can be irritating to some people’s skin, so this should be avoided. Fremontodendron ‘California Glory’ is a hybrid between Fremontodendron californicum and Fremontodendron mexianum. The former has a large range in California and across the border into Baja California, while the latter has a more southerly occurrence, being found mostly in Baja California, and also a little way into southern California. This hybrid is amazing for the abundance of its large golden-yellow flowers, on a bush which can reach a height of up to 20 feet (6 m). Though Fremontodendron was formerly placed in the family Sterculeaceae, this family has now been included in the Malvaceae, or Hibiscus Family.
