Give it a try and report back!Jocelyn H.

Tough is so important!<br /><br />Equally tough - Russian Sage (though reseeds badly here, am now listing it as invasive and state might soon), and both Zauschneria species (with some irrigation, but not more than moderate).<br /><br />Wimpy here - Pineleaf Penstemon especially the Mersea Yellow, and the Coneflower, without serious water.<br /><br />Not sure on the Glaucium flavum, as I've not seen it here, but it looks like it would also thrive. Like globemallows, it looks like it means business!Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.com
