The story

Bullseyes for months.

Small flowers with red centers bleeding out into creamy white tips, so many of them they nearly hide the fine, threadlike leaves. It stays a neat mound and keeps going well past midsummer.

Light

Full sun. Shade means fewer flowers.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. After that, only in long dry spells.

Planting

Plant in spring or early fall in well-drained soil, crown at soil level.

Long, heavy bloom with a two-tone pattern that reads from across the yard.
