This is beautiful and very tough plant. The light yellow flowers make a stunning display in the spring, and then you have a nice full mound of light green foliage for the rest of the growing season - it looks like a healthy shrub. It's also quite drought tolerant. The only bad thing I can say about it is that you should put it where you want it to be forever, because it's nearly impossible to budge once it's established due to a long taproot. Lovely and very easy plant!
