Offers a unique blend of creamy yellow, soft lavender and peachy rose shades, each marked with a fuzzy purple “bee.” The 2 to 2.5-ft. (60 to 75-cm) stems hold florets arranged in pairs; as the first floret dies, the second blooms, doubling the life of the flower spike. While the foliage is a low-growing rosette, the tall, graceful flower stems make it an excellent garden background plant and backyard cut flower that never self-sows or becomes “weedy.” The full sun and drought-tolerant plants hold their flowers well. Plants bloom in Spring, go dormant under high temperatures and re-bloom in Autumn. Best sold green in 4.5-in. (11-cm) pots or in bloom in 1 to 2-gallon containers (8 to 10-in./20 to 25-cm standard pots). No vernalization needed for flowering.
