Description
Ray flowers larger, up to 1 3/4" in diameter, raised on a 2 1/2" peduncle that brings the flower above thefoliage. Habit is distinctly horizontal and a plant in full flower is a magnificent sight. The leaves mayturn reddish purple in fall. I have read accounts that state that this is the best fruiting form and also thatfruit is sparsely set; I have not resloved this discrepancy in my own mind.
