Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We thrill to see self sown plants establish in our gardens, for the large blue green leaves are so decorative and the dangling green flowers so beguiling! A fantastic summer to fall mingler, lovely with marigolds and more. Large velvety leaves of soft gray green are reason enough to grow this rare annual, however in midsummer this statuesque plant bursts into bloom, the airy sprays of green tubular flowers creating a haze of color and texture.
