| This back-of-the-border perennial is widely grown in Europe, and finally available here. Plants are tall and upright, forming a bushy clump of green leaves, topped with branching sprays of soft yellow daisies in later summer and fall. Excellent for cutting. Can be pinched in June to keep height lower. May need to be staked. Clumps are easily divided in early spring. Attractive to butterflies.
