The particularly large, full flower heads are a uniformly deep golden-orange held high on big, vigorous plants with substantial deep green foliage followed by showy ornamental seed pods. Invaluable for use in areas with drier conditions and alkaline or limestone derived soils. Catalog and internet sales only. Zones 4-8.
