    Very impressive! Large, thick flower heads, green-yellow in bud, opening to pale yellow-green/cream. Blooms twice here, very hardy. Currently sold out - new crop available in May.

    Percy has every right to be proud of his 'Poker and while his isn't of the Red Hot color, it is nonetheless enviable due to it's large size. Dense grassy bright green clumps support many stems holding aloft large soft yellow torches which fade to white at the base. Previously offered as 'Primrose Beauty'.
