Zauschneria californica ‘Dublin’ by Malcolm Allison
Zauschneria californica ‘Dublin’ , unsurprisingly, is a Californian plant & it thrives in a sunny situation in well-drained soil here in UK ~ it is very drought-tolerant once established. It is a shrublet that grows to some 45cm & it produces its bright red flowers over a long season, between July & October.

In its natural habitat the flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds.
There are a number of varieties:
- Zauschneria cana has slightly greyer leaves & is lower growing
- Z. californica ‘Olbrich’s New Silver’ is lovely, with very silvery leaves
- There’s also a pretty pink form & a white (much less spectacular than the red).
