| Seed ripens | early July |
Wonderful plant - very attractive cut dark-green foliage, with green flowers in mid-spring that last for quite a while.
|
| | By late November, some perennials have colorful fall foliage - but very few sport glossy green foliage quite as fresh-looking as this |
| 
| | Just as nice in January |
