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.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
