This vigorous grower reaches 6 to 8 feet tall and produces abundant 2-inch wide soft lemon-yellow flowers from midsummer through early fall. Its impressive height makes it ideal for back-of-border placements or creating a sunny flowering screen. The blooms are magnets for butterflies and provide valuable late-season nectar.
