Sunfire is an award winning version of a familiar plant, this one blooming earlier and longer than others and tolerating more heat as well. Drought tolerant and tolerant of poor soils.... what could be easier? Or prettier than the 2" flowers with golden-orange petals and burgundy colors at the base. To just 16" tall forming clumps to 18" wide. Perfect for cut flowers. Sun and well-drained soil and occasional summer water for best performance. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4.
