Brilliant 3” orangey-yellow blooms with a peachy-keen center cover this easy to grow perennial from Spring into Fall! An unusually compact “Blanket Flower”, it forms a dense, rounded mound of foliage 1.5’ tall by 2’ wide that becomes bedazzled in blooms from top to bottom. Drought tolerant, deer resistant, bee and butterfly attracting, ‘Mesa Peach’ is also super low-maintenance and perfect for the front of a low-water bed or a container. Tolerates poor soil, but needs good drainage. Deadhead regularly to prolong and intensify bloom – the flowers are perfect for floral arrangements.
