Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This selection from an Algerian species that we can’t pronounce is an extremely durable perennial with glossy evergreen leaves (semi in cold winter areas) and cheery bright yellow flowers larger than the species... it is one of the best ground covers with handsome foliage all year. Stems are 6-8” tall and quickly expand to make a dense carpet 3-4’ wide. Tolerates dry shade. Deer/rabbit resistant.

In cultivation since the 1860's, this Algerian species is a lot tougher than you would expect, 'Weihenstephan' is similar to the species but faster spreading with larger leaves and flowers. ZONE 4
