Quick Overview:

Rich rosy-pink flowers age to coppery red atop the sturdy stems and provide long-lasting late season color. An improvement over the popular ‘Autumn Joy’ with deeper, longer lasting flowers and hardier, sturdier stems. Good fresh or dried for arrangements.

Description

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Thrives in sandy to gravelly soils of moderate to low fertility. Tolerates some light part shade in hot summer climates, but will produce weak floppy growth when grown in too much shade or in overly rich soils. Needs good soil drainage to perform well. Drought tolerant. Propagate by divisions in spring or stem cuttings in summer. Detached leaves can be rooted in soil to form new plants.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
