| Description | Desert Marigold is a small, common, and very attractive perennial wildflower which tolerates drought and sun exposure. Its deep yellow flowers are abundant in the spring and summer. This plant can add texture and color to a xeriscape and has the potential to readily reseed in gardens. The long bloom season makes this an attractive companion for succulents and cacti. Seeds are eaten by seed-eating birds. |
