This is an amazing ground cover, but be warned, it needs some protection from the full sun. I’ve killed 2 of them by planting in full sun, even one that had seemed to be well established. However, the one’s that I planted on a berm with some afternoon shade are doing very well and explode with color in the fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/13\/26 – These flowers seem to have more yellow in them than the others. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planted (4) of these in different locations. It’s clear that these prefer some shade to do well. The ones that I have in full sun do not seem to be doing as well as the ones that get some shade during the day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

11\/20\/25 – This plant must be 8′ across in just a couple of years, this is just one side of it. I believe I can get complete coverage of the berm from these (3) plants. I’ve already started removing one of the parrot’s beak plants that were non native. I will remove the other one as this fills out and as the Green Supreme manzanita I planted starts to get bigger. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

11\/30\/25 – This one is starting to get it’s legs and is spreading a bit. I will remove the cat’s mint once this one starts to get bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
