Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Warm blooms emerge a lovely dark-copper before aging to shades of sunset oranges. Dark-green thread-leaf foliage makes the perfect backdrop forming a neat clump 18 inches high by 24 inches wide. These are wonderful easy-care bloomers for the pollinator garden or perennial border; drought and deer resistant too. S/M-D

One of my favorite NEW INTRODUCTIONS, this little baby will bloom its little buns off all summer and fall! Unusually colored 8 fringed petals of copper, warm apricot and burnt sienna tones dance around bright yellow centers on mounding plants that are 12-14” tall and 24” wide... Full sun, well-drained soil preferred (but adaptable), drought tolerant when established. Butterfly magnet, repels deer. Easy to grow...nice beginner plant.
