Merri, that sounds like a marvelous border and I think this plant
will fit in well. It starts out flowering with a sort of greenish
white, turns red and then turns greenish-white again as they fade.
Flowers are like billows of smoke; very tiny in huge numbers. Post
after it's been there and flowered and let us know how you like it.
