Has soft, mid green leaves divided 3, leaflets are lobed and gives the plant a ferny appearance. Bears outward to upward facing, pale to golden yellow flowers, some may have a pinkish tinge especially when the flowers age.
Flowers May-August
Likes a moist, well drained, humus rich soil in partial shade or sun. |
