Damianita is a low-growing evergreen shrub that can grow up to two feet high. It has dark green narrow leaves that are up to 3/8 inches long by 1/16 inches wide and are covered with green to black glandular dots visible under a 10x hand lens. The plant is very leafy, and the narrow, fragrant leaves are everywhere except on the tips. The peduncles are long, and each flower is solitary, yellow, and composite. The golden yellow flower heads have 8 narrow ray flowers on slender stems and measure 1 inch across. 

Although it is technically a shrub, Damianita is used like a flower. It is very drought-tolerant and mainly blooms in spring, then on and off again through summer. Older plants may take on a twisted, gnarled appearance. It creates a vivid, yellow carpet when massed and is an excellent border plant for a flower bed or a ground cover for hillsides or hot exposed areas. Prune lightly after bloom periods to shape the plant. Excellent drainage is required for this plant to thrive.

Note : Preparation of materials for careful packaging of plants before shipping typically takes between 3-5 business days, in addition to the standard shipping times.
