Description

This somewhat hardy perennial will grow 6"-12" high and produces wonderful, bright yellow flowers accented with an inner orange ring. Will typically only bloom in full sun; flowers may close in shade or cloudy conditions. This ground cover does best in well draining, dry, sandy or loam soil. It will spread about 12". Tolerates seaside conditions, wind and urban pollution. In inland warm areas, this ground cover may bloom from spring through fall. Does not tolerate soggy soil or frost. Plants need regular watering until established, then only occasional watering.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
