Cut flower gardens

Finely dissected, threadleaf foliage with a striking bronze to reddish-brown hue in spring that fades to green as the season progresses. Foliage is soft-textured, aromatic when brushed, and forms a neat, ferny mound.

Bright buttery yellow flowers with golden centers. Daisy-like in form, approximately 1–1.5 inches wide, produced in profusion above the foliage. Blooms continuously from late spring into early fall with good maintenance.

Plant in spring after the danger of frost has passed, or in early fall for root establishment before winter. Choose a location with full sun and excellent drainage. Dig a hole the same depth as the root ball and twice as wide. Space plants about 12–18 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.

Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage repeat flowering. A midseason shearing after the first flush of blooms can promote rebloom and maintain a compact form. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges.

Moderate water needs during establishment. Once established, it is drought tolerant. Water deeply but allow soil to dry between waterings. Avoid wet or poorly drained conditions, which may cause root rot.

Requires full sun for optimal performance. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In too much shade, plants may become leggy and produce fewer flowers.

Flowers can be harvested for casual bouquets. Cut in the morning when blooms are fully open. Though not a traditional cut flower, it adds informal charm to summer arrangements.

Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (such as 10-10-10). Avoid excessive fertilization, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowering.

Attracts a variety of pollinators, especially bees and butterflies. Offers accessible nectar and pollen through a long bloom season.

Pairs well with Sedum, Echinacea, Gaillardia, Salvia, and ornamental grasses such as Panicum or Sporobolus. Complements both native prairie gardens and modern pollinator-friendly borders.
