Comment |
Gorgeous, golden yellow flower spikes rise up
above its wide habit. |
|
Care |
After flowering cut back plants by one third.
This prevents flopping and maintains a neat
appearance. The
disadvantage of this is that you will not get the beautiful
black seed pods.
Plants may be cut back to the ground in late fall or spring. |
