These flowers are grown for their wispy, slightly-pampas-grass like plumes , which make excellent cut flowers, and can be cut again and again. They are very vigorous plants which produce flowers in abundance. They love hot dry conditions, so the northern summer if it continues as it did last year ,will be great for them,as will the southern areas which have long dry hot summers, and they will bloom all summer for you. This mix includes pale lemon, apricot, cream, cranberry and soft orange .
