Woodhenge Gardens: Truly standing above the crowd, Dances with Giraffes is at least 5 feet tall when established. The large blooms cascade and curl down from the tall scapes, golden yellow with a rose-peach blush eye above a green throat. It is registered as an unusual form/cascade. Difficult to set a pod, but the pollen is good. This makes a statement in the garden!

 

2020 Note: Planted 13 months ago and stands at a reasonable 30" tall with a 6 inch cascaded flower. If you flatten out the cascade it probably is 8 inches. Two scapes this year and they measure 0.2 inches in diameter. It's first bloom was last year 23 days after planting. I was surprised. Looking forward to this plant maturing.
