Calylophus drummondianus (Sundrops) is a sun-loving, waterwise, low-growing native perennial. The finely textured evergreen foliage is gracefully dissected, giving it a delicate look. It’s low-growing, but will spread wide. Some like it hot, and this tough, resilient perennial is covered in brilliant yellow flowers during the heat of summer. Sundrops attract pollinators with long-blooming flowers in hot, sunny gardens.
