Simply amazing! This 18-24" dramatic, evergreen clumper from the Winter Thrillers? series can produce up to 75, velvety, 2-3" satin-black flowers per plant, each with a distinct glowing lime-green center. The blossoms remain pretty even after they are spent, becoming a soft, papery charcoal. This perennial is magic in any shady border, container or in a vase. PSh-Sh/M
