About This Plant
Perfectly rounded golden-yellow blooms create a cheerful display that brightens the garden from early summer into fall. Heat and drought tolerant, deer resistant, and loved by bees and butterflies, it offers exceptional flower power with very little maintenance. Its tidy, mounded habit makes it an excellent choice for sunny borders, containers, mass plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

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 4-9.
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.
