Upright plant with large textured, slightly fuzzy leaves; the flowers appear as pompoms around the flower-stalk, in a multi-tiered effect that's different from just about any other flower you'll encounter in the garden. After the flower stalks are cut back, the bold foliage makes an attractive mound to carry the plant through the season

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
