About
Each stunning flower appears as an iridescent rainbow of orange, pink, salmon, lilac and yellow, always changing with the light. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Perfect for garden's edge, in containers and window boxes, or cut flower arrangements. Prefers rich, well-drained soil and full sun.
