A most popular perennial cultivar from a showy eastern and southern native, this variety has soft yellow creamy flowers that bloom all summer on compact 1/2-2' plants with fern-like foliage.

Water Saving Tip:
Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.
Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
