Click here for print friendly version.
This dense little shrub with stiff erect stems and blue-green leaves blooms in summer with very showy, bright yellow, one inch flowers. In September, brown seed pods form and remain on the plant all winter and can be used in dried floral arrangements. The older gray bark peels back to expose a pale orange interior.
