Despite its name, the blooms are typically bright golden-yellow with a dark brown central cone, adding bold color to prairies and gardens.
After flowering, goldfinches and other seed-eating birds feed on the dry seed heads through late fall and winter.
Resistant to deer and drought once established, making it an excellent choice for low-care landscapes.
