A beautiful, strong-growing cultivar, very free-flowering over an incredibly long period. Nodding at first, and then opening completely flat, bright yellow flowers have decorative, outer reflexed tepals. Blooms in June-August, flowers later on followed by decorative silky seed heads. Excellent for fences and tall supports. Makes good ground cover.
Best grown in a sunny position. It can freeze during harsh winters.Raised by Proefstation vor de Boomwekerij, Boskoop, Netherlands 1988.
