Outstanding landscape accent used as a centerpiece or in the back of the landscape border. Plant in masses for impressive impact. Combines well with Begonia `Dragon Wing', Canna `Striata'(`Pretoria'), Lantana `New Gold', Zinnia `Zowie Yellow Flame'. this plant has become quite popular in the Gateway region due to its extensive use in public landscapes in downtown St. Louis and downtown Kirkwood.
