Desert Marigold blooms just about all year. It is a wonderful flowering plant that has bright yellow daisy like flowers. It is about one foot wide and 6 inches high. It is good for a rock garden in a sunny location. It will survive on less water after it is established. Plant it with Globe mallow. The flowers are usually orange but can be white, pink, peach, lavendar or rose.It gets about three feet high and about as wide. The foliage is gray greenish. A desert garden is easily maintained with less work.
