It is celebrated for its exceptionally vivid coloring and tidy form, living up to its name by adding a high-wattage "pop" of color to summer gardens and floral designs. Color: Bright Yellow.

Flowers typically range from 4 to 5 inches (10–12.5 cm) in diameter—a versatile size that offers significant visual impact while remaining manageable for bouquets. Height: Tall. A vigorous grower that typically reaches 4 to 5 feet (120–150 cm) tall, requiring sturdy staking to support its abundance of blooms. Performance: Reliable and Productive. Known for its long, straight stems and high yield, it is a consistent performer throughout the season and a favorite for those seeking high-visibility yellow blooms for cutting.
