Monrovia® Golf Beauty Imp. Craspedia is a compact basal-clumping evergreen perennial with grass-like silvery dark green foliage and abundant global flower clusters. The golden clusters resemble gold balls on stiff upright flowering stalks and bloom on tall stalks from spring through summer which attracts bees and butterflies. Blooms best in full sun and moist well-drained soil. Golf Beauty Imp has improved branching and vigor with fuller foliage.
