Description

Golden Euryops is a compact perennial shrub in the daisy family.  Its finely divided gray-green leaves provide a great backdrop to the cheery yellow flowers that appear almost year-round and are attractive to pollinators.  Plant it in well-drained soil full sun for the best blooms though it does tolerate some shade.  Prune it back after flowering to shape.
