Rating for this plant:
The dark green leaves and year round profuse yellow flowers make for a very attractive plant. The plant can become leggy so cutting back is a good idea for a stronger and denser plant. This plant produces seeds at an extraordinary rate although the seeds have a tendency to stay close to the plant unless carried off by birds and the plant is not aggressively invasive. Low maintenance with little to no fertilizer required. It is only moderately drought tolerant.

I like this opinion
