A cut above. Popular in the cut flower industry, the Floristan White brightens up your home--inside or out. What makes this variety so unique is its unusual mode of blooming. These spiky blooms open from the top down, and you can actually cut a good portion off the top, bring indoors, and the remaining flower heads will continue to open. High-end flower boutiques love these because they grow so tall--three to four feet--and offer such amazing color. Now you can make your own bouquets and arrangements with little or no effort. And aside from a visual boost, your garden will hum delightfully from the various insect pollinators that come to feed on their flowers. Butterflies are particularly attracted to the nectar-rich blossoms, and birds will also pay a visit as they relish the fall-ripening seeds. From Roberta's.
