Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A felted, biennial rosette of ample, grayish green ripple-edged foliage launches spectacular 6' tall luminous flowering stalks. The crowded, blunt-tipped stout stems house fuzzy, round silver buds and large, saucer-shaped blossoms bathed in soft custard yellow hues with orange anthers. These long blooming, multi-branched beauties are some of the last flowers to grace our mixed border, delivering glowing vertical accents 'til October's end.
