Yellow Touch Blanket Flower is a compact herbaceous perennial with upright stems and sliver green lance-like foliage. The large, burnt red-orange daisy-like flowers with a touch of yellow at the tips have prominent dark red seedheads, and bloom from late spring until the first frost. Prefers full sun and dry to medium well-drained rich soils. Very drought tolerant once established.
