Nevada sulphur flower is a hardy western native that thrives in well-drained, rocky or sandy soils with minimal supplemental watering once established. Plant in a sunny to partly shaded spot and avoid clay soils or standing water, which can cause root rot. It is an excellent low-maintenance choice for xeriscape, rock gardens, or native plant borders in the Great Basin region.
