    ?Astounding? 4" yellow saucers of tissue-paper texture open over many weeks during late summer on trailing stems. S/M-D/GDr

    Such beautiful blooms combined with drought & heat tolerance, this highly reliable perennial groundcover native to the Midwest is a great asset for your well-drained rock garden, hot spot or parking strip. So many blooms over such a long time! The lovely 4” across silky lemon yellow flowers stay open all day & appear May to September here in coastal California. You’ll get tons of them if you add a yearly side-dressing of compost & cut off spent blooms. Beautiful trailing over a rock wall & happy in a container. To 10” tall with trailing stems to 30” long. Cut back severely before Winter.
