Dalea capitata
Also commonly known as Lemon Dalea, Sierra Gold Dalea is a low-mounding to spreading ground cover that produces a dense blanket of green foliage with a faint smell of lemon. Clusters of yellow flowers bloom in spring and fall. Often deciduous but will keep its foliage in mild winters. Prune back by half yearly or two in winter or early spring so it doesn't become rangy.
Attracts small butterflies such as Reakirt's Blue and small pollinating insects. Rabbits usually avoid this plant.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
