A nice, pretty early flower. It works so well in bouquets and my customers buy lots of stems. It has a long bloom time and I often use the seed pods in the fall.

Comments
Year 1
Plants flowered for southern participants but not for northern or western participants. All are alive and doing well (4); I already grow this one and just love it. It produces like crazy with pretty flowers and long stems.
Year 2
I have been growing this one for several years and I really love it; I already had this plant from 1996. I still have. It’s okay but not worth planting more; Good plant, nice in landscape, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds but not florists, sells slowly.
