Origin : discovered by landscape designer Paul Miskovsky on his property on Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) in 2008.

Look good with bigger flowers (and seedheads) of big flowers like Echinacea, Rudbeckia, but also fall Asters, Chelone, taller Coreopsis, Helenium, Heliopsis, Helianthus, Hemerocallis (later blooming ones), herbaceous Hibiscus, tall Phloxes, Physostegia.
