Feeling a little cloudy? Say hello to your new ray of sunshine! Little Miss Sunshine is here to bring an effortless burst of light to your garden with her incredibly dark green, glossy foliage and cheerful yellow flowers. This compact cutie pie has a polished habit that makes her look like she spends all day at the spa. Perfectly suited for hot, dry summers, she'll thrive with minimal attention. Consider her your low-maintenance BFF in plant form.

Benefits:

• Drought Tolerant: No fuss plant! Perfect for those scorching summers or if you are a water cultivation minimalist.
• Compact & Tidy: Great for small gardens, patios, or container displays.
• Eye-catching Blooms: Bright yellow flowers from early to midsummer add a splash of sunshine to any space.

• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care once established, making it perfect for busy plant parents or beginners.

Care Instructions:

Little Miss Sunshine loves to bask in full sun. Plant her in well-draining soil and water sparingly once established—this perennial prefers dryer conditions. Just make sure she gets enough sunbathing time (a minimum of 6 hours of direct light daily). During her blooming phase, a balanced fertilizer once a month doesn’t hurt. And remember, she’s not needy, so no excessive pampering required.

Décor Tips:

Place Sunshine in a terracotta pot to bring out her vibrant green foliage and golden flowers. She looks fab whether she's on your patio table, garden bed, or as part of your balcony botanical display. Mix her with other drought-tolerant plants like succulents or cacti for a stunning low-water garden or let her stand solo to light up any corner.

Décor Vibes:

• Rustic Charm: Match her with wooden or terracotta containers for that cottage-garden appeal.
• Mediterranean Escape: Pair her with lavender and rosemary for a sun-soaked Mediterranean vibe.
• Modern Minimal: In sleek containers, she adds a pop of color and texture to minimalist spaces.
