Plant Details
Bloom Colour: Yellow
Bloom Time: Early to Mid-Summer
Sun Requirements: Sun
Moisture: Dry to Moist-Drained
Phenology: New growth emerges May. First blooms appear June, continuing through August with deadheading. Seeds mature August-October. Dies back completely after frost.
Wildlife Value: Attracts numerous butterflies and native bees; seeds eaten by goldfinches and other small birds; deer resistant
Habit Over Time: Creates loose, upright clumps that may self-seed to form larger colonies. Individual plants maintain a relatively compact habit but can spread modestly through short rhizomes. The open growth pattern allows plenty of space for companion plants. Though it self-seeds readily, seedlings are easy to edit where not wanted.
Height: Medium (1-2 feet)
