Description: AHS HM Award (2016), and "Extra Large Flower" (2021)
2022: Fall delivery ONLY (due to it winning the XL Flower award, I "dug it out of retirement" here... and lined a display clump for the '22 season - but it likely wont be up to the par of usual NICE fans I'm known to send, until then)
The flower on this hottie is definitely an "attention getter"... positively neon brick-orange petals, over bi-color yellow sepals. A very bright yellow strip adorns the petal midribs, for that final "I'm HERE!" look. I know that perhaps this particular flower look may not be as "articulate" in design as many others coming out these days... but DO YOU SEE what these flowers are ON?!?! Oh my GOD!!!
I've two shots of the clumps in situ, in a bed of solid un-amended red clay... with a full northern exposure (on a rather BIG hill). This plant takes 2-3 years to truly strut its FULL potential - acting more like most general perennials do (hence the ridiculously low price for such an award-winning specimen). That picture of me working, by the way, shows only five 5-6F clumps. Indeed, this plant will visually overwhelm whatever spot you plan to put it in... casting its "right" of eminent domain, over your garden!!!
