The Fremontodendron californicum is native to the wooded areas at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in the South-West of the United States. Also known as California Frémontia, this beautiful bush with a bushy to climbing habit can reach heights of 6 m, and even up to 9 m if the climate is suitable and it receives maximum sunlight. In spring, it is covered with a generous flowering of large golden-yellow flowers that reflect the light. Quite hardy (down to -12 °C), it can be planted in most gardens as a hedge, in a border, or as a specimen where its crown of flowers will brighten up a dark corner. On a terrace or balcony, it should be protected from cold winds and rain. A low-maintenance plant that thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates lime, ideal for a garden with little upkeep.
