I live in Victoria, Canada which is Zone 8 and have had mixed results with this plant. If it gets close to freezing the plant does not seem to survive. With our dry summers it also is under much distress. My best luck has been as a large container plant close to the house to give extra heat and away from winter rain storms. My current plants are entering their second winter. Welcome thoughts from anyone in PNW.

We originally bought some of these plants to help sell our house in Ventura, California. The foliage is nice and the yellow flowers seem to be in constant bloom. We took some plants with us when we moved -- and now, 20 years later, the plants are still going strong!

Have only had this plant in my front yard for a year. Its very deer resistant here in Northern California. Blooms all year. Fast growing. Bought them as one gal. plants. They are 4 feet in diameter in one year. Need full sun to grow fast.

Beautiful Winter interest in the Garden as it then gives its best show! Originaly from Africa. Will resist sun, drought and cold once established. Best propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings in water or soil. After 2 weeks root system is generally sufficiently developed to transplant in potting soil.
The original E. Pectinatus has gray-green leaves, deeply divided. Sunset Zones: 9-10.
