Plant description
This elegant perennial is a gorgeous sight in early summer, when the sky rocket-like spires of luminous yellow flowers rise up above clumps of attractively lobed foliage. It's a great plant if you want to inject some structural interest (as well as colour) towards the front of the border, but it can also be grown in a larger pot.
