Nursery contributed plant descriptions
The quintessential heirloom flower, this variety is nothing like a 'massed produced' annual bred to be ever so short and covered with giant blots of color. The individuality and charm of this heirloom captivates all who grow it! Winged stems of bright grass green emerge in summer from the low rosette of leaves and curve gracefully upward. Little papery white bracts surround the golden centers of the flower, each flower remaining attractive for 1-2 weeks. The whole planting is abuzz with bees all summer. Best in fertile sharply drained soils, but adaptable to loam.
