Sierra Gold Dalea, affectionately known as Lemon Dalea, is a ground cover that gently mounds and spreads to create a lovely, lush carpet of green leaves, all with a subtle hint of lemon scent. In the spring and fall, it gifts us with cheerful clusters of yellow flowers. While it tends to be deciduous, it keeps its leaves during mild winters. To keep it looking its best and prevent it from becoming too unruly, a gentle pruning back of about half in winter or early spring is recommended.
This charming plant attracts small butterflies, like Reakirt’s Blue, and a variety of pollinating insects, making it a lovely addition to your garden. Plus, it’s not on the menu for rabbits, which is always a bonus.
