Starts producing its first flush of large, daisy-like flowers. The blooms emerge as a bright, glowing warm orange with golden tips.

The compact, mounded foliage is completely covered in vibrant orange blooms. Because it is highly heat-tolerant, it thrives and continues to flower heavily during the hottest months of the year when other perennials begin to fade.

The flowering period continues seamlessly until the first hard frost of autumn. A unique feature of the GUSTO™ series is that new blooms naturally open directly over the older, spent flower centers. This self-masking trait provides a continuously tidy appearance without requiring you to constantly deadhead. In late fall, any left-over flower centers age into prominent, round seed heads. These seed heads provide structural interest in the autumn garden and serve as a valuable food source for songbirds like goldfinches.
