Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A strange and wonderful Mexican member of the aster family, a giant perennial reaching to 10 ft tall x 3-4 ft wide with gray-blue, maple-shaped leaves up to 15" long on thick green stems with "wings". Amazing on its own and even more fabulous in autumn topped with fragrant umbrels of yellow aster-licious flowers. Best in full sun and well-drained soil. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
