Flashy color for your hottest spots! Tall, large flowered, bold & skyscraping, this “Everlasting” is brought to you courtesy of the florist industry, where they understand the goodness of growing things that are TALL. Very double striking clusters of 2” blooms with glossy, deep rose colored “petals” (they’re technically bracts.) Strong stems grow up to 4’ in height & each plant spans around 2’-3’ in width. In full sun blooming commences in late Spring & continues on through Fall if you keep the plant dead-headed. GREAT as a cut flower, fresh or dried! May re-seed.
