After flowering, plants can produce showy fruit which like the flowers are yellow. Very tough evergreen plant that is best suited to a dry shaded location in a fairly frost free garden but it will tolerate situations with regular irrigation as well as winter temperatures into the low 20F's. In colder climates plants can be brought in during the winter. This seedling strain was developed by Production Supervisor Arturo Garcia. It is a result crossing several of our plants that were particularly vigorous and have broad petals and deep yellow flowers. The progeny of this cross are all very robust plants with large flowers.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
