Zn 4. Yellow flowers. Evergreen foliage.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Great native groundcover with strawberry like foliage and bright yellow flowers in early Spring. Full sun to part shade, no special requirements. Quick to establish with a tight mat that defies weeds, but by no means invasive or difficult to control.
