– Spreads quickly to form a dense mat in well-drained, sunny sites

– Bees and other pollinators are drawn to the yellow flowers

– Dense growth can shelter small beneficial insects

– Spring: bright yellow-green foliage emerges with vigor

– Summer: peak flower season; continued vibrant foliage

– Fall: foliage deepens in tone or takes on bronze tints

– Winter: persists as evergreen or semi-evergreen based on zone

– Groundcover for hot, dry areas

– Rock gardens, green roofs, and xeriscapes

– Edging, containers, and hanging baskets

– Between stepping stones or in crevices

– Needle-like, succulent foliage held in upright sprays

– May develop orange or copper tints in cool temperatures or fall

– Evergreen in mild climates; semi-evergreen in colder regions

– Bright yellow, star-shaped flowers in small upright clusters

– Bloom period: early to midsummer (June–July)

– Adds floral interest above foliage and feeds pollinators

– Minimal pruning needed

– Water regularly during establishment (first few weeks)
