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:
Watering every day results in shallow roots.
Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).
