    • Always a favorite! A True Gem with Outstanding Stage Presence! You will always get comments on this beauty. Not to mention, one of the easiest plants to take care of...or not take care of! And then just when you decide this perennial doesn't need a flower to command presence...she blooms and you better stand back and enjoy the show!! Save those pups for sure!!
