I know this as "Sundrops". It is a lovely plant that, for me, begins blooming in early to mid-June and usually continues throughout most of the summer. I have it planted in drier soil than it prefers and so far that has limited its spread, though not its floriferousness! Small bees and other small pollinators like its bright, cheery blooms as much as I do.

They have a really great sunny yellow color that goes well with my peptol bismol colored penstemon. They spread, but are easily dug out. I look forward to them in the spring!

Sundrops is a wonderful addition to my informal garden. It is aggressive enough to battle the bee balm but delicate enough not to overtake my whole bed. I started with a small clump from a local grower and now have several large clumps to enjoy and share. What a wonderful plant.

Great little plant. Hardy grower. Stays green and grows flat to the ground in winter. Will spread, but is easily pulled up. Also, transfers very easily. You can literally pull one up and put it right in another place. No delicate digging needed.
I love sundrops! They're spectacular in a mass, and spread as rapidly as ajuga. I'm puttin' 'em all over the place and givin' 'em away, just a couple years after putting one in the ground - in the shade of a mature sycamore, no less! You can't go wrong with these beauties.

These will fill up quite a large area and I find they do bloom for several months. They are fabulous for filling in those blank spaces of larger plants. They pull up easily and transplant to another location with very little fuss.

The buttery yellow flowers of sundrops are an excellent plant for a splash of bright color. They require little care and are tolerent of many soil conditions. They spread to fill in a large area but are easily pulled out if they out grow their alloted space.
