Also known as Cuban buttercup, buttercup bush or yellow alder, the yellow, buttercup-like, five petaled flowers brighten up bare spots in the landscape with flowers that bloom in the mornings and last most of the day. The dark green serrated, oval shaped foliage, which is fragrant, provides a perfect backdrop for the showy, two-inch wide blooms. Native to the Caribbean, the fast growing evergreen perennial shrub attracts butterflies as well as other pollinators and is heat and drought tolerant with continued blooming during the hottest part of the summer.
The Turnera buttercup is easy to grow and does not require any special care for it to look beautiful. It prefers well-draining, fertile soil with full sun or light shade for the best result though it can tolerate almost all variations of sun exposure and different soils as long as they drain well. Though it is drought tolerant, it performs better with some moisture. It works well with annuals, perennials, and shrubs in beds and borders as well as containers due to its relatively small size.
