  • Notes

A low, mat-forming perennial to 2' wide, the 'Nana' bears deep orange yellow flowers on short stalks from spring through fall (if deadheaded faithfully), and occasionally into winter. It requires sun and average watering.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halway with native soil and water. 5. Finish backfilling hole, build basin and water.
