Lotononis pulchella
syn: Buchenroedera tenuifolia
Description
Lotononis pulchella, also known as the Golden Pea, is a charming, low-growing perennial from South Africa. It's prized for its delicate, fern-like foliage and its profusion of small, bright yellow, pea-like flowers. The flowers bloom in the spring and summer, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. This plant is a great choice for rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover in sunny areas. Lotononis pulchella thrives in well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. It's relatively drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its compact shape and encourage new growth. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases and ensure the soil doesn't stay wet.
