Aesthetics of this stunning Perennial

The stem produces green, hairy leaves that have jagged fringes. These leaves can grow about 6 inches long and about an inch in diameter. 

A beautiful, elegant golden flower with four cupped petals is atop the narrow stems. You would never think such a precious flower could grow from such a rugged plant, but this only adds to its mysterious appeal.

 As a result, they have become a popular choice for people who want to maintain color in their gardens all day and night. They pair well with other flowering plants like the Showy Pink and can be a contrast point. The plant's petals have veins that branch out from the central hub and stretch to the extremities. The vein pattern provides an interesting counterpoint to the otherwise frilly texture and appearance of the flower.

 They produce large flowers growing up to about 5 inches in diameter. They also produce a slight fragrance and wild stamens of particular interest to native bees. So, if you want to plant flowers that will make your garden hum with wildlife, this is an excellent option.

This tow-headed plant is an excellent choice for floral arrangements as well. It proliferates in clumps, so it can be added to bouquets to set the canvas for more showy or sophisticated flowers. It stays low to the ground and can spread quickly, so it works well as a garden edger or accent piece in your vegetable garden. 

In any capacity, this provides a stunning splash of golden color that resembles the sun's rays. Whether as a focal point or a complement to other plants, they add a unique and exotic flair to any landscape they adorn.

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
