Description

This larger perennial will grow to 6' tall and has small, light green leaves with yellow-mustard colored flowers that bloom in winter and spring. Cut-back to within 6" of the ground to refresh and reduce the size of the plant. A riot of color.

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
