At dusk, the flowers seem to glow due to their pale yellow color. I moved one of my plants this year, and still have a wonderful flush of flowers. It's pretty low care so it's a plant to have if you really don't like to spend alot of time in the garden on those hot and humid days.

This plant spreads almost infinitely. We have to cut it back every year because it's only allotted a small spot! But it's another Old F...Read Moreaithful - a reliable prolific bloomer. If you like yellow, go for it - in fact, I'll send you some.

July 2010 OK, our entire yard is accented in yellow now, and I am hating the color. It spread not only by a massive underground root system but by seed. Those ominous ferny fronds, and the obnoxious "cheery" yellow flowers .... grrrr. Let's just say it has escaped cultivation.

This is a tough little plant. I didn't get all my plants in the ground last year, because I didn't have all my flower beds done. Those ...Read Morethat didn't go in the ground spent the winter in plastic greenhouse pots, above ground, as protected as could be. Due to some funky weather we had, not all of them made it, but this little guy made it through a very a-typical Adirondack mountain winter.

This is a sweet little plant that comes back better and better each year.

What a sweet little plant! Plant it in groups of 3 or more for best effect. Mulch plants in zone 5 to keep protected from winter kill.

Zone 5b/Central IL: Excellent perennial! Mine grow profusely in full sun, clay soil. I don't water mine due to the clay soil retaining mo...Read Morere moisture. No need for fertilizer or soil ammendments for me. Blooms open around June 1 here, and doesn't stop until September. I sheared some & deadheaded some for 1 season. With shearing, I lost my blooms for a couple weeks. Deadheading didn't make a change. I just leave mine alone, and have heavy blooms all season. Leave foliage on for winter and cut back dead foliage in the spring.

I notice the new growth is more heavy on the north, or most shaded base of the clumps, so I make sure my division placements are such that they will spread to the direction toward the shade. This phenomena happens in all 7 of my clumps. Not invasive. I've divided all times of the season, even in the middle of July when you shouldn't, with no problems. Easy to grow plant. --Gayle

I enjoyed reading the synopsis on the Moonbeam plant. I bought the seeds for this plant from Martha Stewart. I must have watered the seed...Read Mores too much and only one seed sprouted so much to my impatience I can not wait to see this plant grow and show it's true beauty in full bloom. How long must I wait for it to bloom? Does it bloom the first year or must I wait another year, also how wide and tall does this plant grow? Thank you for so much information on one of my favorite plants and all of the friendly people who are so willing to inform others of their love and knowledge of the plant kingdom.

In zone 5.5/6 this is not a perenial, but more a tender perennial. Does not do as well the second year as the first. Requires constant ...Read Moredeadheading. Otherwise, very pretty delicate yellow blooms and fine foliage.
