Seed ripens | mid-July |
Taprooted short-lived perennial. A weed in some US states. So far, it seems garden-worthy enough - bluish-green foliage, spikes of yellow flowers in its first year. Keeps blooming for a long time, but adapts a sprawling habit later in the season, much unlike its upright L. purpurea cousins.

| Sprawling in late August of its first year |
