Sisyrinchium tinctorium 'Puerto Yellow' (coll. #A1 (Mexican Yellow-Eyed Grass)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10 12" tall Origin: Mexico

Open House/Web-Only! Wow! I never thought I'd say that about a sisyrinchium, but this plant is really cool. We made this collection in 1994 at 1,800' elevation in the region of Puerto Purificacion, Mexico. The rapidly multiplying clump of narrow, iris-like foliage makes a dense plant to 12" wide. Beginning in early spring and continuing through early summer, the clumps are topped with 3/4", bright-yellow flowers held just above the foliage. In well-drained sites, it has been hardy to just above 0 degrees F. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
