Tall upright plant that provides its flowers in late summer and fall, when the garden really needs the color. The flowers are daisies with big knobby center discs, with a friendly, unassuming air. We have the plain species, flowering yellow, in our orchard, and the cultivar 'Flammenspiel', with orange-red flowers, in our front perennial border.
