A really spectacular sunset is what these 2-3', hairy-leaved stalks of fragrant and striking flowers remind one of as they change from crimson bud to yellow and orange and again to purple and rust...something to see!! S/M/GDr
A really spectacular sunset is what these 2-3', hairy-leaved stalks of fragrant and striking flowers remind one of as they change from crimson bud to yellow & orange & again to purple & rust...something to see! And the smell is Fabulous! Sailed through the winter of 2000 like a champ. This is one of the most 'fetchingly' beautiful plants we've ever sold!
