A selection from Ron Gass at Mountain States Nursery in Glendale, Arizona, this form is typical of H. parviflora in its 3-4' rosettes and 5-6' flower stalks but with canary yellow flowers. A very pretty and unusual selection and most attractive when combined in single plantings with the coral-orange flowered forms. Full sun to part shade with little summer water. An easy grower, frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
