Stand tall. What makes the variety of this collection so unique is their unusual mode of blooming. As these plants open, florets from the top of their flower open downward. You can actually cut a good portion off the top of the spike, bring indoors, and the remaining flower heads will continue to open and add color to the garden. Aside from a visual boost, your garden will also hum delightfully from the various insect pollinators that come to feed on these blooms. Butterflies are particularly attracted to the nectar-rich blossoms, and birds will also pay a visit to relish the fall-ripening seeds. From Roberta's.
