I can't wait to go find seed for this one!

Gail, isn't that gorgeous? This is one plant I wish would grow in my zone ... Helen's Flower, because my youngest sister's name is Helen!

Check out Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/730/ a couple of vendors have it for sale

Here's a cultivar called Mardi Gras: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/79823/

Lin, I will check out your sites but I bet we can grow it. Thanks for the sites and I want to see the other cultivar.

No we can't! Bummer. I know that if a perennial says 8b we can't because I have trouble with perennials which say zone 9 (LOL)
