Yellow mignonette is a low-maintenance perennial that thrives in full sun to partial shade with average, well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, as it tolerates brief dry spells once established. It is a wonderful pollinator plant that attracts bees, butterflies, and moths with its sweetly fragrant yellow flower spikes.
