Bushy branching 2-3' plants make wonderful long-stemmed cut flowers and the edible petals are lovely for fancying up a salad or dessert. Also, one of the coolest looking seeds around! Similar (or possibly even the same) as the cultivar “Garnet Gem”. Wonderful at attracting pollinators, long-blooming, and cold\/frost tolerant. \u003cbr\u003e60 days.
