Description

The 'Early Sunrise' is a wonderful perennial, reaching 18" tall and wide. Semi-double, yellow flowers resembling daisies bloom in summer and even into fall if deadheaded regularly. It does best in full sun in poor, dry, well draining soils. It makes for good cut flowers. Plant will self-seed if not pruned or deadheaded. Butterflies love this plant.
