Why you need this plant:        Versatile plant desired for its long blooming habit and drought resistance, 'Moonbeam' can be used anywhere in the garden, as a border or allow to flourish in a cluster.  Delicate yellow foliage contrasts with the mass of creamy yellow daisies.   

 
Planting Info:       Very adaptable to any sunny spot and drought tolerant once established, 'Moonbeam' is the definition of a maintenance free perennial.  In the Fall, just cut foliage down to within 3-4" of the base.  Deadheading in the season is not practical and doesn't increase bloom.
