Nursery contributed plant descriptions

CUTE low 12" mounds of small, rounded green leaves; upright stems of golden-orange, daisy like flowers, often with fluted petals for sunny borders, containers or rock gardens. The flowers attract butterflies. This easy to grow perennial is not fussy about soil, but does not like being too dry or too wet. Deer and rabbit resistant, complementary reds, yellows and coppery tones for fall hues; blooms for mid spring to late fall.
Lovely in border or vase, the unique golden-yellow petals of this compact 12"mounder are tubular; VERY showy and long-flowering, it makes a super addition to border, cut-flower garden or cottage garden. Sun/Med
