It is a perennial plant which means it grows back every year. It grows high and wide. It has strong stems and beautiful yellow flowers. The leaves are yellow-green in color, The flowers measure up to 2.5 cm across, have five petals, and are colored bright yellow with black dots.

This plant has been growing on the side of my house year after year for about 10 years. This years the flowers are bigger than before so I just had to put it up on my spottings.
