The Calylophus is a clumping groundcover that produces masses of beautiful yellow flowers up to two inches wide. It blooms in spring, summer and into fall. It can grow to one and a half feet high and can spread to two feet wide, with a canopy coverage up to three square feet. The leaves are narrow and bright green. It is very attractive when tucked in among boulders or massed in clusters.
It’s recommended to plant it in soil that has good drainage. When trimming, cut it back to 8 inches high in the fall – after blooming ceases – in order to reshape and renew it for spring growth. It becomes dormant in winter. It is native to southeastern Arizona.
