Description

A most popular perennial cultivar from a showy Eastern and Southern native, this variety has soft, yellow creamy flowers that bloom all summer on compact 1/2'-2' tall plants with fern-like foliage. It should be planted in full sun and average soil. This plant is good with the Campanula in the front of a border, and makes a lovely container plant as well. -Holland WIldflower Farm
