Fauna: Attractive to pollinators. In our yard, it’s a favorite of the American bumblebee (Bombus pensylvanicus) and Gulf fritillary butterflies (Dione vanillas).
Planting Considerations: St. Andrew’s Cross is widely adaptable to a range of soil types. This is an under appreciated plant! It makes a beautiful, evergreen low growing shrub with yellow flowers that are always being visited by pollinators. It can be used as a foundation shrub, along the liminal edges of Oak canopy or in mass, for example as a border to a wildflower garden.
