| Unique Characteristics: |
|
This old fashioned favorite has been overlooked since the proliferation of new and supposed improved varieties. The trailing habit of this species makes it a natural for raised beds and planters. Can also be a cascading rock garden plant that will extend the blooming of most spring flowering alpines, or soften the edge lines of a walkway. The bright yellow blossoms glisten in the sun and cover the entire plant, which can be in stark contrast to blue flowering Scabiosa'a or Salvia's. Extremely tough plant that thrives in poor soils and drought conditions. |
