Description:

Golden Fleece is a small, annual or short-lived perennial herb native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. It's favored in gardens for its cheerful yellow flowers and its adaptability to various garden settings, especially in rock gardens, borders, and as a groundcover.

The most notable feature of Golden Fleece is its profusion of bright, sunny, daisy-like yellow flowers. These blooms typically appear in spring and continue throughout the summer, providing a long-lasting display of color. The flowers are small but numerous, creating a carpet of yellow that can add significant visual appeal to the garden.

In addition to its flowers, Golden Fleece has fine, feathery foliage that is green to gray-green in color. This delicate foliage provides a nice contrast to the bold yellow flowers and adds texture to the garden.

Golden Fleece is a drought-tolerant plant, making it a great choice for xeriscaping and water-wise gardening. It thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate poor soil conditions, including rocky or sandy soils. The plant's compact size and spreading habit make it suitable for small spaces and for filling in gaps in the garden.

This plant is low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established. Regular deadheading of spent flowers can encourage more blooms and extend the flowering period.

Overall, Golden Fleece is valued for its bright floral display, ease of care, and drought tolerance. Its ability to provide long-lasting color and groundcover makes it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add vibrancy and texture to their landscapes.
