Golden Fleece showcases an abundance of yellow, daisy-like blossoms that rise above fragrant leaves, making it an excellent choice for annual borders or as ground cover. These vibrant yellow flowers typically bloom from summer through early fall and are indigenous to Texas and Mexico. They thrive in well-drained sandy soil and require full sunlight for optimal growth. In hot and humid environments, flowering may diminish, but the plant has the ability to self-seed under favorable conditions.
