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. 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.

The flowering period continues seamlessly until the first hard frost of autumn. 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.
