Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I am delighted with this wonderful & rare CA native annual groundcover. Growing 8-10” tall & 3’ wide, this San Diego County native is covered in Spring & Summer with MASSES of the most brilliant sulfur yellow, cup-shaped flowers. If you plan to have it reseed in your garden make sure to plant two so that they will pollinate each other. Heat resistant, drought tolerant & bugs won’t bother it. Great as edging. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
