From the middle of each bloom protrudes a central style covered delicately in fluffy ivory stamens with a terminal deep red stigma. The buds are abundant, with flowers covering the plant in late July all the way until the first frost. They bloom over stunning black foliage that is delicately cut into several leaflets, resembling those of a maple. Creates a stunning backdrop, or an eye-catching garden centerpiece. Deadhead spent flowers to maintain a neat appearance.
