| False Sunflowers are reliable for their very long season of bloom. This selection forms a midsized, bushy clump of dark green leaves, bearing branching heads of large golden-yellow fully double daisy flowers. An outstanding cut flower. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly extend the blooming season. Should not require staking. Plants may be divided in early spring. Easy and always rewarding. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
