| From Joe Pye Weed catalog, 2003: TOURIST- SPEC/. setosa. Schafer/Sacks, 22", M. I. setosa is one of the most well traveled species - native to Alaska, China, Russia, Japan, and the upper east coast of North America. This is a very fine selection of setosa - classic tiny bristles for standards, violet falls (RHS 868) with darker veins and a flash of dark violet just below the signal which is an unusual (at least to us) light yellow rather than white. The plant is vigorous, but not a thug. It has superb branching with seven to eight buds. Slight sweet fragrance. From SIGNA seed. $20.00 |
