I have had this plant for 12 years or more..gets wider in girth each year..dies to the ground and blooms in late summer for several weeks.12 inch blooms that curl some.has had up to 50 flowers open on the same day.not the closed previous days flowers.
wow, these things are really stunners.
Eclipse, that IS very pretty. And it'd look really nice in the PDB here: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/47478/ especially with your growing experience in a comment :)
And Kyle, I'd like to know how you keep them short. Mine always get tall and fall over. Do add it to the PDB. Nice photo.
Is that Verbascum in the background near the middle of the photo?
Shirley..it looks like a weed to me!!!!! LOL I don't remember what that was..
