  • Description

  • Notes

A spreading mound 2' tall and wide, Fendler's Sundrops had small green foliage that is lightly hairy, casting a soft grey tone. Yellow flowers are about 2" across and open in the morning, turning orange and pink as they fade. Blooms in the summer. Evergreen in the low desert, it will probably die back to the ground with a hard frost. Spreads by rhizomes.
