This is a very hardy bush that has grown in the garden for many years. It seems never to be affected by the weather; neither hot dry spells nor cold heavy snow. The flower clusters look like several snap dragon blooms forming a ball. They are a bright yellow tinged with ocher, darkening to a rich golden tone as they age. Some have a thin light pink petal emerging from the “mouth” of the dragon. The thick sage green leaves have a distinctive fold near the end. It makes a great cut flower with the flowers lasting a week or more.
