Description

Broad clusters of yellow flowers grow from this evergreen perennial. Its upright stems form a 4' tall dome-shaped bush. Crowded all along the stems are narrow, blue-green leaves. It is fairly tolerant to droughts. In the late winter and early spring, its clustered flowers make dense, round to cylindrical masses. Until the seeds ripen, the color holds with only slight fading. At that point, the stalks should be cut out at the base.

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.
