  • Description

  • Notes

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
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
