This shrub reaches up to 3 feet tall (91 cm) and features oval, bright green leaves. It is characterized by its production of vibrant, golden-yellow flowers throughout the winter months, typically from November to February. The flowers are wide, funnel-shaped, and the bloom of each lasts just one day. However, they appear successively so that new blossoms continuously replace those that have faded. It thrives in sunny to lightly shaded areas and prefers moist soil, tolerating temperatures down as low as 25-30°F (-4 to -1°C).
