Beautiful Flower
by Erika
This is a gorgeous flower and quickly became a favorite of mine. All the seeds I planted grew, and they did really well in pots. I got a lot of compliments on them - since they were outside my front door. The center of the flower is unique, and I loved the green-silvery color of the foliage, which reminded me a little bit of some varieties of lavender. They lasted a long time too - blooming up through Holloween and into November.

Permanent addition to my garden!
by Alex
Tried these for the first time last year and they're a new favorite. Mine took a few weeks to germinate so make sure you start them inside early. Not much spread so plant a lot! Thrived in the hot, dry months. Centers are unlike anything I've seen. Bloomed all summer and fall! Zone 5A
Wow such a special flower!
by SONIA
I definitely recommend these seeds. My germination rate was low but what finally came up and bloomed was so pretty! i wish I could post a pic! I started in a tray under lights to germinate. I plan on saving seeds so I can plant more of this flower. I like that it is a perennial in my Region. I’m in South Tx Region 9A.

The first of all of my many seedlings to bloom.
by KELLY
Planted these seedlings outside, then we had several nights of frost, then - surprise! 4” of snow….. They are now blooming and I am pleased!
Striking colors and resilient to high heat and cold nights
by Alexis
Wow! What unique, striking flowers. Not only are the flowers pretty, but the leaves are very interesting too. I will definitely plant these again. They did well in my high desert, northern New Mexico summer climate (very little rain and fairly hot summers) and were among the last flowers to last well into fall. I had stunning blooms into late October, which is impressive after multiple nights of frost.
