A most cheerful little plant! 12" mound with bright orange flowers that bloom longer than any other plant in the nursery - almost never without blooms (except the dead of winter!) – Sun, average garden conditions – may sulk in heavy clay soils – Happy in a pot – would be brilliant in a rock garden – Very long lived – so many years of joy for such a meager sum of money!
