Its coarse, leathery dark green foliage is topped with heavy blooms of large pale yellow double flowers with 3 layers of petals and rich yellow centers that bloom from mid summer into fall. Regular deadheading encourages continuous bloom and extend the bloom into fall. Prefers full sun and moist well-drained soil. Real Dream has improved disease resistance.
