    The gayest Gay Feather. Bred by the Univerisity of Nebraska with an eye towards cutflower production, this Queen of the Gay Feathers is all about size and the extremely tall flower spikes totally rule. Gotta love a flower you can look right in the eye. Easy. Purplish-pink.

    Five foot tall full spikes of reddish-purple on this selection by Dr. Sotero Salac. Lovely as a cut flower. Prefers summer water.
