Strawflower
Flambe Yellow Chrysocephalum apiculatum
A perfect pick for hanging baskets and other containers that tend to dry out, strawflower loves a hot spot. It rewards you with clusters of golden-yellow flowers all summer and into fall.
Because of its trailing habit, it's perfect to spill over the side of a container -- or use it as an annual groundcover in your garden.
