A low growing member of the flannel bush family  Fremontodendron ?West Hills? spreads about 8? wide and grows up to about 4?.  An excellent and showy  no maintenance groundcover   ?West Hills? does best where it has perfect drainage  such as a rocky slope or canyonside.  This flannel bush offers large  yellow-orange flowers in spring and has attractively lobed leaves on arching branches.  It is a mounding evergreen shrub that would do well with some supplement water after planting in autumn  but then no more water as it is drought tolerant.  Flannel bushes are tough as nails in dry conditions  but susceptible to rot from overwater  so be sure the proposed planting site has excellent drainage.  Please note  the fuzzy leaves are actually covered in hairs that can irritate human skin---plant this native away from walkways  more up on a bank or less trafficked area.  ?West Hills? needs full sun to part shade  and is frost resistant.
