Euryops Athena Sun

Euryops Athena Sun is a compact, mounded evergreen shrub-like perennial known for its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom prolifically over dark green, finely cut foliage. It is valued for its long blooming season, often from late winter through fall in mild climates. The 'Athena Sun' cultivar is more compact and floriferous than traditional forms, making it well-suited for containers and garden borders.
