Robust, free-branching, nearly trouble-free plants, ranging from 6 inches to 4 feet tall, with flowers from pale yellow through gold to orange and brown maroon. Leaves finely divided, ferny, usually strongly scented. Annuals will bloom from early summer to frost if old flowers are picked off. Handsome, long-lasting cut flowers; strong aroma from leaves, stems, and flowers permeates a room, but some odorless selections are available. [Bender, Steve, Southern Living Garden Book, The.
