Full growing guide
The story

Bright yellow for the shade.

Lacy blue-green leaves under sprays of tubular canary-yellow flowers that light up a shady bed from spring into summer. Cut it back and it blooms again.

Light

Part to full shade. Morning sun is fine; afternoon sun burns it.

Water

Keep evenly moist, especially in summer heat.

Planting

Plant in spring in humus-rich soil that drains.

Long-blooming color in a spot where most perennials just sulk.
