A Transformative Garden Display

From teardrop shaped silver buds to satin, four petaled cups, the blooms glow with sunlit translucence. The petals shift from pale lemon to deep orange as light travels through the silk like petals. The effect is vivid and luminous in bright sun.

The garden responds to the day: flowers open at dawn, form a glowing carpet by noon, and close together at sunset. This subtle weather cue creates a living sundial that adds rhythm to your outdoor space.

Growth, Bloom Rate, and Care

Seed to gold can occur in as little as six weeks, with continuous blooms for several months in warm climates. Individual blossoms may last about seven days, while new buds continually appear, keeping color fresh across the season.

• Color drama: sunny yellow petals with an orange heart and a delicate, jewelry-like center that attracts pollinators.
• Foliage: feathery, lace-like leaves in gray blue with a waxy coating that helps resist evaporation.
• Hardy enough to thrive in heat, frost, and poor soils, with taproots that help prevent erosion.
• Landscape versatility: ideal for mass planting, stone and gravel gardens, and container displays.

Pollination and Garden Experience

The Golden West serves as a beacon for pollinators, delivering a vibrant daytime presence and supporting a healthy garden ecosystem.

• Beacons for pollinators with high nectar production and active blooms from dawn to dusk.
