Each cute flower has five petals and a center tuft of yellow disk flowers.Â

My 5 pack of Goldenstar got here in a week or so, arriving a couple weeks ago during our cold snap – healthy plants, lots of roots. They’re off to a good start, handling 32 degrees no problem – can’t wait to see how they do in summer shade.——————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
