Tree Anemone (Carpenteria) are rare plants endemic to California that grow as evergreen shrubs with glistening white flowers. These plants prefer full sun and can survive dry summers, but they can also grow in shade and partial shade and require well-drained soil. These plants are usually used as wall side borders in gardens and can be grown in courtyard gardens as well.
Water:
Tree Anemone, native to California's dry regions, demonstrates strong drought tolerance with deep root systems. It requires watering every two weeks, thriving outdoors where it benefits from natural rainfall. As an evergreen, tree Anemone maintains lush foliage year-round despite variable water availability.
Propagation:
Propagation of tree Anemone involves semi-hardwood cuttings and seed sowing. Take 4-6 inch cuttings in summer, using rooting hormone and well-draining soil. Sow seeds in spring after stratification in sandy soil. Ensure indirect light and consistent humidity, with moderate difficulty in root development and seed viability.
