Ozark Sundrops

This plant has a creeping habit and grows upright to 12 inches tall on red stems. It is good for edging in the garden bed. Lovely, large, lemon-yellow flowers, each 4- to 5 inches in diameter, cover the plant in July. Sunny blooms of the Ozark sundrops make a pretty sight in summer, a bold statement for the perennial border.
