Description

This finely textured native produces nice clusters of golden yellow blooms in the spring on a 1'-2'H x 1-2'W plant. Prefers well drained soil with very little water. Acts as an annual in many landscapes. Usually looks poor in the summer. Most often used in more natural landscapes. Attracts butterflies. Cut back after bloom in the summer but leave leaves below the cuts.

Water Saving Tip:

Consider replacing some lawn areas with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

Good candidates for removal are portions of large lawns, areas where no one uses the grass, patches that don't grow well, or spaces too small to water without overspray.
