Description

This perennial grows to 3' tall. It blooms in late spring, summer and fall, with bright orange-yellow daisies on dark green foliage. During winter, shrub looks scruffy, so an early spring pruning help to spruce it up. Plant in full sun to part shade. However, in very shady locations, it becomes lanky and spreading. It will reseed some in the garden.
