Description:
Named for a former employee, 'Eleanor' is a carefree plant to 3 by 3 feet. Makes a veritable bouquet of pale gold flowers edged with white all summer. An adaptable plant, it will take sun or light shade, and drought or regular water in well drained soil. Cut back the whole plant to about 8" high after flowering, and give it a good deep watering. It will regrow and rebloom.
