ACCENT PLANTS UP TO 5' HIGH IN CALIFORNIA
Sometimes in a garden it is nice to have an accent plant that is bigger than a small shrub yet smaller than a tree. Such a plant can make for a great sculpture in your garden. In one of my clients front yard we planted a Mcminn Manzanita (pictured) which will reach 6' at maturity followed by some Autumn Sages around it. This is also a nice way to add some color to your garden. Below is a list of California native plants that will work nicely as an accent up to 5' high.
- Amorpha fruticosa
- Arctostaphylos 'Howard McMinn' (pictured)
- Arctostaphylos 'Sentinel'
- Calycanthus occidentalis
- Carpenteria californica
- Ceanothus 'Concha'
- Ceanothus 'Julie Phelps'
- Ceanothus 'Skylark'
