About this variety
The bright orange California wildflower.
Silky orange cups, 2–3" across, sit above neat mounds of finely cut, silvery green leaves and keep coming for a long season.
Handles drought and light frost, grows well in pots, and is a fine choice for sowing large areas.
Flowers about 55–60 days from sowing, on plants 12–15" tall.
