The golden flower heads sit above dark gray-green, feathery foliage, giving a crisp, clean contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows upright to about 28 to 30 inches and has done well in university trials, including in Michigan. It is easy to grow in lean soil, tolerates drought, salt and heat, and is a favorite of butterflies and bees. Use it in sunny borders, prairie plantings, containers and for fresh or dried arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroad, flat-topped clusters 3 to 5 inches across made of tiny florets in bright, clear lemon-gold yellow with slightly deeper golden centers. The clusters form a level layer on straight, upright stems. Foliage is dark gray-green, finely divided and fernlike, forming a dense base. The plant is upright, 28 to 30 inches tall and 24 to 28 inches wide. At peak bloom the plant is topped with evenly spaced golden yellow plates that hold their color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirefly Sunshine thrives in the same hot, sunny, well-drained conditions as lavender, and its golden yellow flower heads are a classic, high-contrast partner to purple lavender through midsummer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun and lean to average, well-drained soil; water regularly the first season, then only during long dry spells.
