At most it will get 2 feet tall for you and be a tough survivor through the summer. I enjoy your blog. Stacy, We call that Cuban Buttercup, Turneria ulmifolia.

Doesn't mean "they're" correct. Heh. Gets shrub-sized. MAL, YOU ROCK. Best. Dog. Name. Ever. Too. Yep the flowers close at night; they are calling that “buttercup” here (9b).

The unseasonable cold here in N. Tex. killed all my hot weathers- the tomatoes, the peppers, some of the beans- so I'm starting over. But it will warm up. Yes? Now those are some purty flowers.

I know it's somewhere in my garden journal (hell, the site, too), I'm just too Benadryl-ed to look it up just now. You're one zone south of us, right? (We're 9a.) Odd...do they get fungus/mildewed?

Is the yellow one you can't remember "buttercup"? That's what they call it down thisaway. I have volunteers here and there. I like 'em. The Mahogany Midget coreopsis is SO cool. It doesn't like my yard, even just the plain ole yellow one dies after a while. No luck with coneflowers here either, but they still try to sell them to people here. Less and less, though, actually. MAL!!!! What a cutie. Woof. Gorgeous stuff! Is the yellow one you can’t remember “buttercup”? That’s what they call it down thisaway. I have volunteers here and there. I like ‘em.

He sleeps with the fishes now. I was obsessed with coreopsis last year - I don't have the variety you show. Must get! We saw our first hornworm last summer – impressive little bastard.

No good flowers for us, no ma'am. I’m SOOO jealous — up here in CT we still only have Crocus and Daffodils blooming. No good flowers for us, no ma’am.
