Developed for superior cold hardiness and heat tolerance, 'Chapel Hill Yellow' is a dependable performer in the Houston metro area. It features a spreading, mounded habit that makes it an excellent groundcover or border plant. While it is tough and drought-tolerant, it requires a site with good drainage. In areas with heavy clay, it is important to avoid overwatering and ensure the soil is loose or elevated to prevent root rot during our wet Gulf Coast winters.
