the deep south; most have gray/green foliage .5"-1" wide and supply great focal impact in flower beds
Division 2 - Large Cup
One Flower to a stem, Corona or cup more than one third but less than equal to the length of Perianth segments or petals,
The group that you see the most often used in gardens
