This little spring/summer flower is just the thing to accent the blues and purples and reds I love in my garden. The little yellow flower...Read Mores are like stars, blooming for a day or so, and quickly replaced by more. Keep it deadheaded for longer blooming.
It's nowhere near 24" tall, as per the description above. Maybe 10" in the sun, shorter in partial shade. It gently self-seeds itself around, and I quickly lift it and put it in other spots. I've had it for 4 summers, and it has made it into some perennial window boxes here, too. Easy to propagate when you want more, even easier to weed out if it's in the wrong place. Not invasive at all here. Fabulous for borders.

Flowers July-September
Loves slightly moist, well-drained, poorish soils in full sun although they will tolerate some light shade. Dislikes winter wet.
It's never overwintered here but then I bought it labelled as a bog plant which while it will tolerate moist soil it doesn't like to be constantly wet. While grubbing out the pot this spring I was surprised to find numerous tiny seedling fans and promptly repotted them. All have flowered and produced seed pods which will be dutifully collected to stem the invasion!
