Description

Compact Gold Coin is a water efficient, daisy-like, woody-based, short-lived perennial. Its gold flowers appear in spring and summer but may bloom intermittently at other times. It can tolerate heat as long as it has well draining soil and infrequent watering. It may be used in desert areas if given afternoon shade and moderate amount of water in summer.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
