Positive childofthecorn On Apr 19, 2008, childofthecorn from Shelbyville, IN wrote:

It puts off small plants around it making it bushier every year. The yellow flowers are abundant and it attracts butterflies. Does well in a large pot or in the ground.

Neutral smiln32 On Jun 24, 2005, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote:

Also called "Pot of Gold". Compact habit. Bright yellow flowers from June to frost. Tends to be a bit more hardy than some other cultivars. Only reaches a height of 10".
