thank you Mary. Where does one get these? I don't recall seeing them in HD or metropolitan?

WOW I just saw those at Costa Del Sol In Union and remarked at how "different" they were.

Right?!?! That's where I saw them and thought, I need some for next spring. There must be 50 of them in their parking lot!

You can buy the seeds for next year inexpensively, but I don't know where you'd buy the plant at this time of year. Maybe call Williams? It's a spring/summer plant.

They had some of these at the Maplewood GC plant sale last Spring, but they ere more yellow than tricolor.  Agree, very interesting plant that has held up well so far, even in the heat.  the tri-color looks even better than the yellow, IMO.

If you drive by Costa Del Sol on Vauxhall Road in Union you can see them by the sidewalk.  Stunning to say the least.  

this pot of flowers is outside the rehab I have been visiting daily -- location is under a canopy and I would not think the flowers receive TLC -- and they'd ok great. That is the kind of flowers I will look for next year!

Know this grass?
