Medium 2' - Plant 14" apart. zone 3-9 - The gold flowers of Coronation Gold, with the silver ferny foliage of Moonshine. Plants are very upright, vigorous,and showy, yet not tall.

Flowers from summer to early fall. Butterflies love it. Excellent fresh cut flowers or dried. Tolerant of drought, wind and heat. Grows well in almost any soil type. Spreads to fill in, so give them room.
