Description
This new hybrid looks a lot like the famous Gloriosa Daisy which is usually grown from seed. (We have the seed in our Wildflower Seed Dept.) However, this perennial is longer-lived than the seed-sown type (The ones from seed rarely last more than a couple of seasons.) , and all the flowers with this plant will be the same--all with the attractive dark reddish center. (The seed sown Gloriosas range from solid gold to various bi-colors and even double forms.) These new hybrids, which grow to about three feet tall, make wonderful color for your summer garden.
