Sunny yellow flowers held above stiff stems will attract scads of honeybees. This practical prairie plant forms dense mats of underground rhizomes that can help stabilize hot dry slopes.
Plant in full sun, in well-drained dry gravelly soil. Blooms June-July. Deadhead flowers to encourage a second bloom. Native to central U.S. Z3. Maine Grown. (bare-root crowns)
When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.
Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
