Gold is right: golden-yellow and gorgeous! A profusion of blooms and the sturdy, compact plants and upright habit the Sombrero series is known for. Colours never fade. Thrives in full sun, and you can plant these perennials in a variety of locations and be sure of their success. They grow to 18-22 inches and spread 22-24 inches. Effective as cut flowers. Cut back close to the ground in late fall after a hard freeze, but if you leave a few dried flower heads standing, winter birds will eat the seeds.
