The plant was a result of seed grown from a
faciated scape, I got from Pete Ruh in the late eighties. I had a row of
these plants ( seedlings from the pods) and after lining them out in a field,
sort of forgot about them. One day in August 12 years ago, I saw a
unbelievable bloom over there. I thought something had come up in the
hosta row. Of course , it turned out to be this plant. it has been
faithfully blooming with similar blooms every year since. Test plants have
been grown in Pete Ruh's Herb Benidect's and Mildred Seaver's gardens as well as
others & bloomed ( with the great flower heads) in all three. We have
tried TC with disappointing results and intense dividing makes it quit blooming
for several years. No doubt it will be hard to get for many years. I have
12 or 13 ( of the 20 originally offered) large (OS) plants left
to offer. After that I may raise the price, as there will be only a few
slowly available. The leaves, by the way, are dark green and very
puckered and heart shaped. I grow the plants in part sun and they "like"
plenty of water. My big plant has become about 30" across & 12 inches
high. I will give price details privately to anyone who is
interested.
Thanks
Ran
