Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Panicles of golden yellow flowers burst along stiff, thin branches in late-summer to early-fall. The stems form clouds of fine green foliage. It is tolerant of many soil conditions and requires little maintenance.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
