Yellow cleomella is a fast-growing native annual or short-lived perennial best suited to open, well-drained soils in western North America. It performs well in full sun to partial shade and requires little supplemental care once established in an appropriate garden or naturalized setting. Its bright yellow flowers attract native bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to pollinator gardens.
