We don't mean the low-growing, new-fangled hybrids. This tall growing (4' - 5' tall and wide) orange-yellow or pink-yellow bloomer is an extremely reliable perennial, whereas the new-improved versions may or may not come back after our winters. Grows well in dry, sunny, hot locations and blooms profusely from April till November. Outstanding butterfly attractor. Is showier and showier as the Texas heat becomes more intense. Plant it. Establish it. Enjoy it for a lifetime.
