I planted this plant last August 2006, in So. California and it has grown and expanded. It has flowered continuously and it is now Dec. 26th. I want to divide it but does it ever go dormant? Maybe Jan or Feb but it is not showing any signs of winter blahs. Of course we have had a warm fall, and 80 on Christmas Day. I highly recommend this beautiful bright yellow plant.

The species is native to the southeastern U.S. Many cultivars have come on the market recently, some are patented and have trademarked names. Outside its native habitate, the tender perennial is usually grown as an annual.
