Highly aromatic, finely cut olive green foliage forms a 4’ diameter and 3’ high mound, covered by flushes of golden yellow 2” flowers. Flowering highly dependent on water and growth cycle of plant. Responds well to being severely cut back every few years to avoid flat sprawl. Does not appear vulnerable to pocket gophers, rabbits, squirrels or deer.
