Thyrallis

Galphimia glauca

As the name implies Shower-Of-Gold offers season long spikes of bright yellow flowers; flowers are mostly held at or above the dark green to blue-green foliage; with periodic pruning plants develop a dense handsome canopy with enough flowers to draw the eye from a distance.

Exposure: full sun to very light shade

Height: 3 to 5 feet

Plant Type: woody shrub (South Texas) or summer annual (North Texas)

Planting Time: anytime from containers as a shrub, spring as a summer annual.

Soil type: tolerant of most soils as long as they are well drained.

Suggested uses: general purpose evergreen shrub in warmer portions of Texas; tolerates summer heat as a patio container; nice background for perennial or annual boarders in South Texas.

Special notes: blooms whenever temperatures permit; annual pruning will maintain a denser habit and plants work well when pruned back as a subshrub or herbaceous perennial.
