This blanket flower has peachy-orange petals fading to yellow tips, with yellow eyes, and grows about 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. The leaves are long, deeply lobed, and grey green. Use in the perennial border, in rock gardens, or meadowy spaces. There are some planted at the Washington Square Garden, at the west end.
