Grown in a nursery pot and ready to thrive, this dependable perennial produces masses of daisy-like flowers from midsummer through early fall, creating weeks of vibrant color when many other plants begin to fade. Its upright habit, long bloom season, and easy-care nature make it one of the most reliable perennials for sunny landscapes.
