Description

The 'Hidcote' bears large yellow flowers to a size of 3" across, and blooms from spring through summer. Its overall growth is not as compact as that of the moseranum variety, instead reaching up to 4' tall. It should receive sun to part shade, and looks best with at least occasional summer watering. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
