    Easy, versatile & lime-a-licious! This is the old-fashioned, 3’ tall variety, not the awful & pervasive modern 6” hybrids. Quickly growing into a bushy form 30” across, it glows with 1.5” lime-chartreuse starry flowers, irresistible to butterflies for three months or more. I use it in sun & shade gardens, as it blooms so much, for so long & green flowers harmonize with everything! It looks great with Impatiens, Lobelia & Forget-me-nots, but my fave combo is Salvia patens. In addition it's a LONG LASTING CUT FLOWER. Average water & good soil is all it needs. Self-sows! Deer resistant.
