Dalea capitata is an evergreen to semi-evergreen groundcover featuring lemon-scented foliage and dense carpets of small, yellow, pea-like flowers. Uses include borders, rock gardens, traffic medians, parking lot planters, and sunny slopes. Excellent for desert landscapes. Good lawn substitute and for weed suppression, but cannot take foot traffic. Should be cutback each winter. Low to moderate water use; highly drought-resistant once established. It adapts to most well-draining soils (sandy, loam, rocky, alkaline, and neutral). Tolerates light partial shade but thrives in full sun. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy to 0˚F.
