Unusual! Glowing white 6" pinwheels are produced throughout summer and fall. Mix it with the Red Texas Star for amazing contrast! A vigorous sun loving perennial which is native to the swampy soils of the SE US but is fairly drought tolerant once established in the garden. A good choice for the back of the border.
