Notes
This unusual perennial forms large dense mounds 2' x 1'. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. The tall center cone rises above deep maroon petals that are tinged with yellow tips, and the long-lasting flowers literally cover the plant all summer and into the fall. This is a good cut flower.
