Bocconia arborea
Tree Celandine
A hardy large shrub to 3 x 3 meters or more with deeply lobed large leaves and unusual plume-like flower heads. A structural feature for the larger garden
Bocconia is a genus of about 10 species in the poppy family. B. arborea is from South America and Mexico where it grows on quite exposed hill slopes. In my garden it is very hardy requiring minimal water or attention, and it provides a fantastic structural backdrop for other planting. It can be grown in full sun or light shade, and is probably not frost tolerant.
