Description

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.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
