(aka: Tetraneuris scaposa) Hymenoxys scaposa is a delightful rock garden perennial, native from Colorado south through Texas. Although the high-mountain forms tend not to thrive in our wet, humid summers, the Texas forms don't blink. Thanks to Texas plantsman Pat McNeal, we were able to make this seed-propagated collection from Travis County, Texas a 2015 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction. For us, Hymenoxys scaposa forms 5" tall x 10" wide rosettes of narrow green leaves, topped from April through the summer months with 1' tall stalks ending in 1.5" fringed yellow daisies. No worries about drought or heat once your clumps of Hymenoxys scaposa are established. Well-drained, gravelly soils are best.
