Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Description: One of Utah's native plants, this one provides cheery summer color and works well for informal native or prairie plantings. It will flower the first year, and the small, golden, daisy-like flowers will continue from July to September. Under ideal conditions it can be aggressive, but it is easily controlled.

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.
