These iconic prairie plants grow long foliage from basal rosettes with Oak leaf-like pointed lobes.The tall flowering stems become filled in big yellow rows of toothy ray petals with yellow centers of miniature florets like their Sunflower cousins!

The rosettes can grow 2-3 feet wide with each leaf can be 15-24 inches long! Growing fast and blooming throughout the late-season months of July through September, bees and butterflies need these vital nectar and pollen resources.Planting and Application:Very long-lived native perennials with deep roots, be sure you want this plant growing right where you plant them for the long haul. Gorgeous and unexpected height and focal points throughout the sun garden, work Compass plants into prairie restoration projects, grassy sunny meadows, and throughout a native pollinator and mixed perennial border.Plant among any other boldly hued perennials, similar ray flowers, large and small shrub borders, and really... that bright golden-yellow hue compliments just about every other plant and color out there!
