Viguiera dentata (Plateau Goldeneye)
$ 4.98
Plateau Goldeneye is an open, bushy, multi-branched perennial featuring bright yellow daisy-like flowers. Blooms provide nice fall color. It tends to grow in colonies, and gets to about 3 feet tall in sun, and up to 6 feet tall in partial shade. It is drought tolerant. Plants might get top heavy and flow over in the shade. It can be pruned in late spring for more compact form.
Leaving the spent flower stalks in through the winter will provide seed forage for finches and other birds. Reseeds readily under favorable conditions.
