| Positive | 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 | 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". |
