Damianita
Chrysactinia mexicana
A low growing shrub with dark green, needle-like foliage on a woody base and small, golden yellow flowers held on slender stems. Flowers and foliage are fragrant. Primary bloom in spring and autumn, but will flower through the summer with a little extra water. Drought-tolerant and suitable for xeriscaping. Works well as a boarder planting, in rock gardens, and as a groundcover in reflected heat locations. Shear off flower stems and remove any non-leafing woody areas in early spring.
