Zn 7. Soft fluffy green balls. Good cut flower.

Curiouser and curiouser cried we as we gazed upon these fuzzy electric green flower balls perched on stems that seemed quite suitable for cutting. In fact, they are a sought-after easily grown long-lasting cut flower. Not especially hardy, they bloom their little heads off in late spring and summer in fertile, well-drained, alkaline soils.
