(Seed Grown)
This magnificent beast shimmers on a breezy day and invites much attention from passersby. Based on years of growing this plant, I'd say to all who asked that it's better off closer to the coast as the inland heat knocks it about. That was until I was recently made aware of one growing happily here in the East Bay. It gets hot and cold in that location, and it is 'Happy as Larry' growing adjacent to a lawn in flat, clay soil! Since 2019! So it was either planted in pixie dust or I have no idea what I'm talking about - you decide. Either way, the foliage is stunning in the garden, a vase, or a wreath.
