This perennial is grown for its lacy, fern-like foliage and large, flat flower heads bright yellow. It is drought resistant and will tolerate average to poor soil, making it a good choice for a problem spot in the garden as well as in the border. Removing the faded flower heads will promote better flowering. Flowers in their peak may be cut and hung to dry. They are very popular in dried floral arrangements.
