Description

A most popular perennial cultivar (a showy Eastern and Southern native), this variety has soft yellow creamy flowers that bloom all summer on compact .5'-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
