Golden Lace is a frost-hardy heirloom flower that brings a long season of delicate blooms from summer through fall across hardiness zones 5 and beyond. This cultivar of Patrinia scabiosifolia grows 3 to 6 feet tall with a spreading habit, creating an airy, textured presence in the garden. Its preference for full sun and moderate water makes it a low-maintenance addition that deer leave untouched, while its flowers attract pollinators throughout the season.

Golden Lace flowers from June through November, delivering months of continuous blooms when many perennials have faded. It reaches 36 to 72 inches tall depending on growing conditions, creating impressive vertical interest without requiring staking. Deer resistance combined with pollinator appeal makes this heirloom equally valuable for wildlife gardens and cut flower plantings.
Golden Lace is grown as a flowering perennial for garden borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-focused plantings. Its extended bloom window and airy form make it suited to naturalistic plantings where it can self-seed and create drifts.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost. First, stratify seeds at 35 to 40°F for 2 to 4 weeks to break dormancy, then move them to a warm location around 68°F to germinate. Expect seedlings to emerge within 14 to 28 days.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, hardening them off gradually over several days to acclimate to outdoor conditions.
Direct sow seeds outdoors 2 to 3 weeks before your last spring frost date.
