Single golden flowers resemble coreopsis in shape but have large center buttons much like coneflower. At its prime when most perennials are done blooming. Combine with asters and phlox for great late-season color and a treat for the pollinators. Larval host plant for the dainty sulphur butterfly.
Not fussy, easy to grow, excellent cutflower. Plant 18" apart in full sun. Zone 3.
