Golden-fleece is a sun-loving Mediterranean perennial that produces cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers and requires very little attention once established. Plant it in well-drained soil in a full-sun position and water only occasionally, as it tolerates dry spells well. It is an excellent choice for rock gardens, gravel gardens, or sunny borders with poor soil.
