Description

This perennial succulent bushy ground cover will grow 12-18" high and produces striking orange or yellow blooms. It does best in full sun and dry soil. Great on slopes for a spring color display, or as a filler in and around low water plantings. Profuse display of color midwinter to spring.

Water Saving Tip:

Water high water-use plants separately from low water-use plants.

Low water-use plants can grow with one-half the water needed by high water-use plants, and can be easily damaged from over watering.
