Plant Details:

Plant Description: Large vigorous growing perennial native to Arizona. Bright yellow flowers with 4" long trailing spurs bloom in April. Blue-green fern-like foliage are also attractive. Will bloom longer if not too stressed by lack of water. Tolerates heat.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
