Erysimum franciscanum


This bright, fragrant, and rare denizen of San Francisco's open spaces (Twin Peaks, Mount Davidson, Bernal Hill, and others) makes a charming addition to the mixed flower bed. White flowers, enchanting scent, and the irresistable solidarity of bolstering populations of local endangered species. An uncommon local perennial 1-2 feet tall with fragrant yellow- to cream-colored flowers, found on serpentine outcrops and occasionally in coastal dunes. In the garden, it likes full sun and requires excellent drainage.
