Desert Marigold is an ephemeral perennial that forms impressive mounds of silvery-white to green foliage, topped by stems with brilliant 1-2 in. wide yellow marigold-like flowers in the early spring to late fall. This plant has a wide natural distribution in low to mid-desert regions and is extremely drought tolerant and a great attractor of bees and butterflies. They will accept regular, light watering during periods of growth, but prefer little to none during cooler fall to winter months. (They can reseed freely to naturalize)
