RE: Romneya coulteri

Hi Pamela,

 

We have huge stands of it growing along freeways in dry, hot, alkaline clay soils in Sunnyvale/Cupertino in south SF Bay.  It’s really taking off.  We had it in our own garden some 20 years ago, it was happy and took off.  It took three years to get rid of it.  Some friends have a hard time starting it and others have no problem. 

 

Cheers,

Bracey

Has anyone outside of Southern California grown Romneya coulteri sucessfully. More specifically I am wondering  if anyone is growing it in the Mediterranean basin or anywhere that has typical mediterranean alkaline soil.   I  would be interested to hear experiences. Its such a lovely plant.
