Pure white flowers with a golden yellow cone flowers from late spring to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost. 3-to-4-inch flowers keep on blooming without having to be deadheaded. Superior performance includes a basal branching habit, resulting in more flowers per plant. Excellent as a border plant, in mass or containers, as cut flower or foliage, dried flower or seed heads; fragrant flowers attract butterflies. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended.
