Comments: This plant is easy to grow and water wise, but can also be a bit weedy. Deep yellow flowers are presented in large, showy, flat flower-heads, at branch tips, in summer (October to January). The flower-heads are made up of many small florets packed into rounded discoid heads (i.e. daisy-like flower-heads without the ray petals).
