Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fluffy double deep-magenta cones are surrounded by a skirt of soft-pink rays... lots of them! over a very long summer-into-fall season make this 30-36" perennial a great cut flower or border stand-out. S/M/GDr PPAF

Big, fluffy, hot magenta-pink flowers are held on strong dark stems up to three feet on well-branched plants. The rounded cone forms a feathery ball with a skirt of flat ray petals protuding beneath. Big, beautiful, bold yet well-mannered like a classic southern belle. From the Cone-fections Series which offers reliably hardy, very floriferous, stocky plants with strong sturdy stems. Wonderful planted en masse and superb as a cut flower. Hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils.
