Bladderpod (Peritoma arborea) is an evergreen shrub native to California and Baja California. Growing up to 6ft tall, its leaves are composed of three oval leaflets, and it produces bright yellow flower clusters. Each flower has four petals, six curly stamens, and a protruding style that holds the developing fruit. Its dense branching and drought tolerance make it an excellent accent or low-water addition to lush landscapes.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
If harlequin beetles become a problem, they can be removed by hand or sprayed off with a garden hose. It is usually not possible to eliminate them entirely.
