  • Description

  • Notes

This perennial, succulent, bushy groundcover will grow 12"-18" high and produces striking orange or yellow blooms. It does best in full sun and dry soil. It looks great on slopes for a spring color display, or as a filler in and around low plantings. It has a profuse display of color midwinter to spring.
