Description

Perennial grows to 3'. Thru late spring, summer and early fall, dark green foliage sprinkled with bright orange-yellow daisies. In winter months, shrub looks scruffy, so an early spring pruning helps. Accepts full sun to part shade. In shadier locations it becomes lanky and spreading. Will reseed some in the garden.

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
