Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Mention this plant to garden designer and former owner of Phoenix Perennials Clare Philips and you better stand back. She can't say enough good things about this under-used aster relative. The bright yellow daisies are held in masses on fine erect stems from good low clumps of dark green foliage. Oh, and it blooms from late spring until frost! You gotta love that!
Huge coarse yellow daisy, sweetly fragrant with narrow petals, but still a huge coarse yellow daisy. _Z 5
Masses of willow-like leaves carry gay deep-yellow daisies for weeks on end in mid-summer; 18-24" in height. Sun/Med
