This is the first year that I have had this plant. I planted it last Fall. The plant now has many, many blooms and more coming.

This is a real honey of a plant. It tolerates all-day hot sunshine. Its foliage stays green all summer. Its flowers are large and bright yellow. Much of the foliage stays green all winter as well. It tolerates temperatures in the 20s (F). It comes true from seed.
