Similar to 'Kentish Hero' in everything except flower, this plant has clusters of bright golden flowers. A plant will grow to two feet in height, and even a bit more in warmer parts of the country. It can survive winters only down to about 25°F. When grown in a container, letting it become root-bound seems to produce the greatest amount of flowers. It produces flowers for such a long season, it is a very good addition to a mixed container garden. |
