Orangeville Tassel Flower Mix (Emilia coccinea) - Ken collected these Orange Tassel Flower seeds in 2019 from a beautiful stand growing in front of a Broadway business in Orangeville, Ontario. “They were hard to miss, dancing in the September wind just off on a side street of Broadway… I was fortunate there were a few finished seed heads.” A gorgeous dual coloured orange-scarlet coloured mix of blossoms backed by blue-green foliage. Stems are wispy and rather delicate, reaching 18-24” and are perfect for fresh or dried arrangements.
