Brilliant yellow flowers cover the plant in spring and offer a vanilla-like scent. Perfectly adapted to dry, hot summers and cold winters, likely staying evergreen through winter. Prefers well-draining soil that is low in nutrient content. Drought tolerant and low maintenance. Will not tolerate overly wet or consistently moist soil.
