Deep orange yellow, large flowers appear in spring, attracting bees. It does best in full sun and well draining, sandy or rocky soil. It looks great if espaliered. No summer water required after it's established.

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.
