These were also new for me this year. They were supposed to be 2-3 feet, and some were, but some grew almost as tall as me (5'7"). Very interesting, and I loved the cone shape bud.

Thanks! I did dry some by hanging, but the center color faded from yellow to beige and the flower petals bent back. But the buds dried perfectly.

I used to grow and dry these for pot pourit with dried lavender flowers.

We've had many cold nights with frost and these still have flowers! Although they are sheltered somewhat... Definitely growing them again next year. : )
