Nonstop blooms on Flambé Yellow, Ultimate Gray strawflowers
Norman Winter
Pantone, the guru of all things color, has selected Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow for the 2021 Colors of the Year. Some headlines call it Pandemic Gray, but I love it and you will too as it opens the door to one of the toughest award-winning plants of all time Flambé Yellow chrysocephalum.
Flambé Yellow gives you both pantone colors on one plant. Silver gray leaves and stems partner with yellow button flowers that are produced nonstop all growing season. It has won 85 awards from Florida, Georgia and Texas to Delaware, Penn State and Cornell. There aren’t too many plants that can match that trophy case.
