Calylophus ‘drummondianus’ also known as ‘Texas Sundrops”
This low-growing, spreading plant has delicate, narrow, green to grayish-green leaves. Texas Primrose produces bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers that fade to orange or red as they age. It is valued for its drought tolerance, vibrant yellow flowers, and ability to thrive in tough conditions, making it a favorite for xeriscaping and pollinator gardens. Flowers open in the evening and remain open into the next day, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Prefers well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil. Tolerates poor, nutrient-deficient soils but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Extremely drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between watering.
Height: 8-12 inches, Spread: 18-24 inches
