Anyone with a sunny and dry spot on their property could consider planting the native Hawaiian plant known as Pua Kala (Argemone glauca). The plant produces conspicuous white or yellow flowers that mature into eye-catching grayish-green pods for most of the year.
It thrives on rocky, sunny, and dry areas of low to medium altitude on Hawaii’s leeward sides and high-altitude subalpine regions in the mountains. The genus has about 30 members[1] and belongs to the plant family Papaveraceae (Poppy family).
