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).
Vibrant golden-yellow flowers bloom successively in winter.
Capsules transition from green to brown, split open when ripe.

The leaves of yellow flax are oblong to elliptic, sometimes obovate or oblong-ovate, measuring 2 - 8 cm (0.8 - 3.1 inches). They exhibit a green hue and a smooth texture. The vein pattern is pinnate, providing prominent central and secondary veins. The leaf margins are entire, contributing to their clean, streamlined appearance.

The flowers of yellow flax are showy, with a bright yellow to golden yellow hue. Each flower measures about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The petals are arranged in a radial fashion, forming an open, cheerful, and inviting bloom. The flowers are typically five-petaled, and they exhibit a soft texture. These blooms do not possess a strong scent but are visually striking, making them a charming addition to any garden. Yellow flax flowers bloom primarily in winter, adding vibrant color at a time when many other plants are dormant.
The fruit of yellow flax is a capsule, typically a dry, dehiscent structure that splits open when ripe to release seeds. It is distinguished by its elongated shape and a texture that becomes papery or woody at maturity. The color transitions from green to brown as it matures. Capsules may measure up to 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) in length. Each capsule contains multiple compartments, where the seeds are securely housed until dispersion. The seeds themselves are small, facilitating dispersal by wind or other natural mechanisms.
