Forms a mound of silver-hairy foliage with divided leaves, which sends up mostly leafless flowering stems holding bright yellow daisy flowers. When given favorable conditions, a plant can persist as a neatly rounded, permanently flowering form throughout the heat of summer. We grew ours from seed labeled as Psilostrophe cooperi, which is a woody subshrub, and later found out that this is more likely what we have growing. They started blooming in May from a January sowing. Native to the US southwest and northern Mexico.
