Bold and bright, the deep-magenta petals (rays) are held perpendicular to a sturdy 20-30" stem and feature a gorgeous green eye, a bright lime green center which darkens with age to become a lovely golden-orange on this handsome and delightfully fragrant cut flower; a standout for the perennial bed!
