Nursery contributed plant descriptions

When in bloom, this charming little South African perennial puts on a dazzling show. The plant & foliage give the appearance of a Heather but the flowers produced in profusion are like small golden-yellow buttons. Blooms Spring till Winter! Shear back after it’s finished to keep it a compact 2’ mound. Likes a little fertilizer in Spring. Well-drained soil is best.
