Characteristics of Plant
A perennial flower with more of an olive color of leaves that later in the season produces clustered clumps of yellow flowers.
This is a clumping type of plant which makes it not only beautiful in cut flower arrangements, but also can be dried and used that way too.
It will grow well in either sun or shade and when clumps get to large they are easily divided.
Seeds need at least a month of a cool chill of at least 40F before moving into light and 60-70F to sprout. |
