Nursery contributed plant descriptions

If ever there was bloom that looked just like buttah, this is it! 1” creamy yellow flowers show off lime-green veins radiating from a lemony center. Tidy foliage forms evergreen mounds 4-6” tall and wide. Sweetly-scented and edible, too! A cottage garden favorite and great for newbie gardeners! Plant in well-drained soil, give it a bit of shade in hotter inland areas, and protect from frost for successful overwintering. Provide fertilizer and ample water.
