A perfect Lion's Tail flower

 

 

Lion's Tail is a striking, orange, autumn blooming perennial that is suitable for gardens in Zones 7  and up. It is particularly gorgeous when planted in front of Mexican Bush Sage, Salvia leucantha. The flowers of the Lion's Tail dry very well and can keep their color for two years or more. For a fragrant Lion's Tail, try Mint Scented Lion's Tail!

This photo taken, in brilliant sunlight,  shows the flowers a little lighter than they really are.

 
 

See the flower buds in the round pom-pom? They are just just getting ready to burst.

 

Lion's Tail makes a great addition to our
 Crafter's Herb Garden Six Pack.
