Description

This larger perennial will grow to 6' tall and has small, light green leaves with yellow-mustard colored flowers that bloom in winter and spring. Cut-back to within 6" of the ground to refresh and reduce the size of the plant. A riot of color.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
