It's certainly spectacular when growing well and here at least, seems
to appreciate well drained 'good' soils as well as thin, gravelly poor
types. I love the big bold forms and have only ever really disliked
one - a double golden yellow (C. aurea 'flore-pleno' ? David ?) To my
mind, it loses all of the grace of the single forms. I concur with
everyone else about 'Solfatare' - grown well it is exceptional and
well worth hunting down.
