Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Very hardy upright-growing perennial. This variety has large, magenta daisy-like flowers up to 7" across with dark orange centers. Will tolerate some drought once established. Deadheading will prolong the flowering time. Great choice as a specimen or in masses. Looks great in meadows or prairies.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
