Out of stock
This annual wildflower is named for its golden yellow, satiny, five-petal blooms that appear from late spring to early summer. Its blooming season may be extended with deadheading. Individual plants can produce multiple 3” flowers, which open in the afternoon. Plant it in full sun or part shade and give it very little water once full grown. It gets 1-2 ft. tall x 1 ft. wide.
In the garden, it prefers well to medium draining soil and is tolerant of heat, drought, and wind. It will also grow in rocky, sandy soil. It’s the perfect addition to open areas between a variety of trees/shrubs or it pairs nicely in a meadow garden with lupines, poppies, clarkia sp., Chinese Houses, and more. It develops a taproot but is said to do well in containers. Attracts bees and butterflies; deer resistant.
