  • A lovely annual that gives both the beauty of a flower as well as a seed that certain birds love to eat. One to five round globes of orange-yellow flowers bloom from each branch. A very drought-tolerant plant grown in many arid regions. If you love wildflower gardens this plant would fit right in. Perfect for growing in tubs for the deck! Attractive to bees, butterflies and birds and is drought-tolerant making it suitable for xeriscaping.
