Charming blooms of unusual gold quilled petals highlighted by chocolate-brown button centers. Good for cut flowers. A narrow upright grower which makes a great specimen in the back of the border. Very appealing in the late summer. Introduced by Larry Lowman of Ridgecrest Nursery.

The petals of this unique wildflower, found along a stream in Illinois, are rolled, making them look like bright yellow quills; strong upright (to 4-5') clumps bloom in early fall along with joe-pye. PSh/Med(notdry)

Tightly quilled petals circumvent a dark cone center to create a yellow starscape in late summer beds. Great with Amaranth 'Hopi Dye' or purple fall flowers.
