Foliage, foliage, foliage and ever changing blooms. Bright yellow foliage turns to green as the summer season approaches, perfectly timed with pure white lacecap blooms. Blooms and fertile florets turn to blue/pink as the petals age yielding a totally new plant! Blooms and foliage all turn to deep red in the fall when temperatures cool. Protect foliage from hot sun as it can scorch in hot temperatures. Don't miss this serrata for the ultimate collector.
