Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • 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.
