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' 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
