Description

The 'Hidcote' bears large yellow flowers to a size of 3" across, and blooms from spring through summer. Its overall growth is not as compact as that of the moseranum variety; 'Hidcote' reaches up to 4' tall. It should receive sun to part shade, and looks best with at least occasional summer watering.
