Notes
| Eyecatching ball of charteuse yellow flowers in late April. Self seeds. Sticky sap can cause skin irritation. Cut back to 2 inches after bloom to get tidy flush of bright green leaves. 'Bonfire', a recent introduction, has maroon-red leaves all season, making it an attractive foliage plant. Excellent heat resistance, moderate growth rate. |
