Garden excitement!
Intriguing novelty flowers turn from green to burgundy as they mature. Long-lasting 4 cm blooms thrive anywhere. The exceptional naturalizers multiply year after year for increased beauty; hummingbirds can't resist them! A favourite in dried arrangements; a vivacious bloom in fresh bouquets. Distasteful flavour, so animals won't bother any part of them.
