'Powis Castle'; it also grows smaller and more compact (1 foot x 3 feet). The yellow flowers are on noticeable stems that rise out and away from the plant in the summer. This species is short lived and may have to be replaced after 3 years. It requires well-drained soils. Does not perform well in hotter inland gardens. Best in full sun with occasional summer watering. Selected by David Amme from plants growing at the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse.
