Tall, about three feet, have to support the stems. Blooms in May/June zone 9a. No special treatment at all. I cut back the dead stems when they turn brown, forget about them, and they come back each year.

Plant is 30" high at maturity. Flowers are large, a bright sunny yellow with reddish brown spots on the petals. Anthers are same color. Chipmunks will eat the shoots when they are just coming up and still tender (not woody yet).
Have read that asiatics are poisonous to cats.
