Comments:
This is a very tall growing perennial that produces yellow daisy-like flowers on eight foot stems. The foliage is quite interesting in that leaves are coarse textured and cling very close to stout, nearly square stems and form a "cup" thus the name Cup Plant. These "cups" hold water after a rain. Provide full sunlight and a well drained soil.
