Description

A beautiful but little known California native. Slow to mature but worth the wait. Develops into a graceful multistemed deciduous shrub. Dark green, rounded leaves clothe the smooth gray branches. Late spring brings dangling clusters of pure white, waxy, bell-shaped blossoms. Yellow fruit appear in summer. Grows 6 to 10 ft. tall for sun to light shade. Drought tolerant. Leaves turn color before dropping during fall. We have observed hummingbirds and pipevine swallowtail butterflies nectaring on styrax blossoms. It does best in part shade with well draining, dry soil.

Water Saving Tip:

Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.

Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
