Re: Carpenteria californica

I agree.  The white flowers are impressive.  But. it is a 'scruffy shrub'
which is likely to need strong support.  It is definitely worth getting but
do ensure that something else screens the lower half.

Carol,

This plant can look very pretty in bloom, and smell very nice.  But
it's not the nicest looking shrub, especially when it's not in bloom.
I've seen them look their best when they are planted behind something
like a fence or a lower-growing shrub, so as to cover up their rather
leggy and spindly stalks.
