Another all-season winner: grown for its huge (over 1' tall!) but delicate, golden-yellow flower heads in fall, the tufted, shiny-green, spiky leaves are also attractive in winter and early spring. S-PSh/M-W

In summer masses of golden flowers on tall stems float above the spiky tufts of grass. Tolerates some shade, likes wet areas. Excellent along the water's edge. Can be planted alone or in masses. Shear back in spring.
