and larger than normal shiny golden cups make this mid-sized

blooms of others in the genus; drought and deer resistant;
prefers well-drained soils and deep infrequent watering
once established; can be used as a water-wise container
plant; great in the wind; low Phosphorus fertilizer or
none at all
