I LOVE this plant. It's wonderful texture provides contrast with coarser leaved plants in the border and the golden color in fall is beautiful. Mine has been easy care and long lived.

I'm impressed with how nice the plant looks all the time. Very feathery texture and great fall color. The flowers are not huge or showy but it's a great asset to the border. Great contrast with large leaves like Sedum.

The plant is always attractive and shapely. Very low-maintenance--no staking, no deadheading, no pinching! No pests or diseases. What more could you ask for?

I look forward each spring to the beautiful soft blue blooms and dark green foliage of this graceful plant. Then, in the fall, it turns a bright yellow gold to add to your landscape.
