Description

Long lived evergreen shrub grows to 3' x 3'. Aguirre? was selected for its outstanding bloom period of yellow flowers from September to November when plants are totally covered with flowers. Accepts full sun, extreme reflected heat, and poor soils as long as drainage is adequate. Water sparingly to maintain form.

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
