Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Flat heads of rich salmon to terracotta over dense clumps of greyish green ferny leaves. A curious shade inspiring all sorts of wonderful colour combinations. Tough and vigorous without being weedy.

Unusual selection tolerant of poor soils where it will bloom from spring through fall. The green fernlike foliage is topped by 2' stalks with flattened clusters of tiny red flowers marked with yellow centers. Spreads agreeably by rhizomes.
