Description: This North American native wildflower cultivar is a dense herbacious perennial with a mounded form and cheerful, long blooming flowers. Compact and free-flowering, the low masses of gray-tinged green leaves are slightly fuzzy and provide excellent contrast against the bright flowers.
Ornamental Features: Starting in early summer, the low mounding foliage is covered in semi-double, daisy-like blooms in juicy orange shades. The ray-like petals are a refreshing apricot with a darker mango in the centre. Rich in nectar, the flowers will attract and nourish many important pollinators.
Landscape Features: Ideal for containers, beds, and borders. Provides a pop of unique colour in cottage gardens, butterfly gardens or cutting gardens. Drought and heat tolerant, requires little care once established. Few insect or disease problems.
