Perennial Plant of the Year in 2003, butterflies love ‘Becky’! Glossy green foliage grows to about one foot tall and the flowers rise above on stems 2-3 feet tall. Long-lasting cut flowers, they make lovely additions to a mixed flower setting. Easy-to-grow, they prefer a full sun location or light shade in hotter areas. Plant them in average soil that has good drainage. Keep moist to establish, thereafter ‘Becky’ is a water-thrifty plant that will brighten the garden for many years. Deadhead spent flowers to promote new blooms. A good choice for a large area where low maintenance, hardy flowers are desired, they will naturalize in a wild setting.
