Your eyes will be riveted to their gorgeous vortex leaving you breathless. At 3-4’ tall, 2-3’ wide with 3-6” blooms, they will continue to stun you until frost. Pinching back the first 3\" when your plants are around 12\" tall will result in more growing stems per plant, longer flower stems and even more abundant blooms. If you keep cutting them, they will bloom continuously! We suspect the original mix is a blend of separately maintained individual color types. Ours (similar to our “Anarchy”) is a hybridized population of all of them allowed to cross freely, so there will be some lovely surprises! Enjoy these beauties in your garden knowing that if you cut them they'll look great in a vase upwards of 7-10 days. \u003cbr\u003e75-85 days.
