Description

This unusual perennial forms large dense mounds 2' x 1'. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. The tall center cone rises above deep maroon petals that are tinged with yellow tips, and the long-lasting flowers literally cover the plant all summer and into the fall. This is a good cut flower.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace damaged nozzles or heads with those identical to other heads on the same valve.

Mixing different types of heads on the same valve will create overly dry areas or overly wet areas.
