Gooseberryleaf Globemallow and it’s oh so popular orange-sherbet flowers is indigenous to the Intermountain and Southwestern states in desert or steppe habitats. Described in the wild to only get whatever precipitation comes along, in a xeriscape, monthly to no watering will do. On drip, it will put on a show with more flowering and if cut in the spring, will flush again through the summer and fall.
Notice the leaves have deeper spaces and are slightly jagged compared to Desert Globemallow (also in the native selection). See a hoverfly floating near a blossom. Globemallow is a favorite to native bees and butterflies. Here in the Vitalbeebuds landscape Gooseberryleaf was planted by seed in a rocky area without any supplemental water. Its companions, white yarrow and Penstemons (Rocky Mountain and Palmer’s).
