    One of those amazing plants where the truth is stranger than fiction!, the grey-green leaves of this 12-18" clump-former are puckered and furred into 3-dimensional sculpture; early fall brings bright yellow daisies. PSh-Sh/M

    Envision triple curled parsley on steroids and this is what you’ll see. Talk about texture! This ‘Shirley Temple’ farfu has thick, super ruffled leaves’. Clumps grow 12-18” and need moist, humusy soils and light to moderate shade. This plant is not into sports therefore does not like competition...have roots? Then get a pot. Yellow daisy flowers in late summer look like they belong on some other plant.
