Growth Habit
HerbaceousDescription
Crested-type flowers bloom prolifically on well-branched plants. Center blooms reach 4-5" across with many smaller, more versatile side stems. Center stem can be pinched but side stems grow tall and straight even when center bloom is not pinched. With approximately 15-20 stems per plant, these Cramer varieties prove to be workhorses in the garden. Wonderful, velvety texture and interesting shape 30-36".
