Notes
Arrowhead rattlebox (Crotalaria sagittalis) is a low-growing perennial with yellow flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). The yellow blooms open from early to late summer. They may appear again in early autumn. This plant grows up to 16 inches tall. Its habit is that of a small herb or subshrub, so it stays compact and fits near the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Sedge, and Bee balm.
