Long spires of yellow-orange flowers on black stems above rounded leaves.
Nursery Notes
Propagated by division after flowering the most successful for me, though I have not tried seed.
Opinion
Great border plant, flowering over a long period throughout most of July and August.
I dont necessarily put this tall item at the back of a border, it is quite effective at the front and lends a bit of drama, after all the mound of foliage is only about a third the height of the plant, it's the stately spires that do the ultimate height for a while.
This plant was added to the database on 21st December, 2009.
