About This Plant
Fine, thread-like golden foliage adds brilliant color and soft texture from spring through fall, while cheerful yellow blooms create an extra burst of sunshine in summer. Heat and drought tolerant, deer resistant, and loved by bees and butterflies, it thrives in sunny borders with minimal care. A stunning choice for rock gardens, containers, edging, and bright pollinator plantings.
Companion Plants: Blue Fescue, Lavender, Salvia, Catmint, Yarrow, Sedum, and Coneflower.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a spot with 6+ hours of direct sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and plant at the same depth it was growing, gently loosening the roots. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during heat and dry spells. Top-dress with compost in spring; most perennials don't need much fertilizer.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Cut back after a hard frost, or leave stems standing for winter interest and tidy up in spring. Divide every 3–4 years if the center thins. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
