Description
This astonishing perennial recently introduced from the Caucasus consists of a basal tuft of dark green, linear leaves which produce spikes of feathery, russet-red flowers in spring, re-blooming again in summer and fall if deadheaded. This adaptable plant resembles a reddish, spring-blooming liatris with vibrant designer color.
