Plant Description
|
This bushy marigold relative blooms throughout winter into spring. Small, golden orange flowers are carried on tips of slender woody stems that rise from the base. Dark green, finely divided foliage is strongly aromatic when brushed. Cut stems close to the base to renew. Plants are more robust in full sun and with occasional summer water.
