A striking perennial that makes an excellent focal plant. Pale yellow flowers sway in the wind on airy stems stretching up to 8 feet tall. Adored by bumblebees, each flower often has multiple visitors at a time! We like to use this stand out species to bring whimsical form and movement to meadow plantings without being overbearing. A wonderful long lasting cut flower.
