Turnera subulata

We fell in love with the soft yellow blooms of this plant the first time we grew it. The expression of color deep in the center of Turnera flowers is so cool. This one has brush strokes of purple-brown. Trailing Yellow Buttercup works great as a spiller in a mixed container, in a small pot alone, or when placed in the front of a border to cascade over the edge of a raised bed. Its bloom habit is like that of Morning Glories in that they open in the morning and close later in the day but stay open for much of the day in the fall.
