Description
The 'Hidcote' bears large yellow flowers to a size of 3" across, and blooms from spring through summer.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
