I grew these from seed one year and thought they were very cool. The actual flower is a yellow disc of 1 - 2 inches. The green bracts that surround the flower appear to be green petals. They make great, long lasting cut flowers since the bracts don't fade away nearly as fast as a real petal would. They make a great accent in a mixed arrangement or are quite striking on their own. They prefer moist, rich soil.
