Description

Perennial plants very resistant to cold. Despite their toxicity, they deserve wide use, at the back of flower beds, in the company of large perennial geraniums, dahlias or grasses such as Miscanthus. They like a soil rich in humus, sun or partial shade, do not fear limestone, but dislike dry and poor soils. Easy anywhere ambient humidity is never lacking.

Robust, upright and loose habit. Very finely cut foliage. Creamy yellow flowers, in large numbers at the top of the stems. More flexible habit than 'Ivorine'.
