Armenian Basket Flower

Description:

This seldom seen perennial flower produces large quantities of 3 inch thistle-like flowers ( NO thorns!) and are superb in fresh or dried arrangements. Very popular with crafters and dried flower arrangers! Blooms in late spring and summer. Grows 3-4 feet tall. Best for forgotten or hard to reach areas in the garden because established plants are drought resistant and almost indestructible. Flowers attract butterflies and humming birds.

Habitat:
