This native perennial is the ultimate late-season anchor for a pollinator-friendly garden. While its towering three-to-five-foot stature demands a bit of planning for placement, the payoff is a reliable, deer-resistant explosion of yellow that keeps your landscape vibrant long after other flowers have faded.
