A cool little plant from Rick Lupp; it is a monotypic (not monocarpic) crucifer, best propagated by root cuttings, forming close tufts of deep lustrous evergreen pinnately cut leaves and clusters of 4 petaled yellow flowers on short stems from the center of each rosette; fairly hardy despite its Mediterranean origins.
