FORT COLLINS, Colo.

The plants and flowers were grown and studied over three summers and two winters, CSU said. They were then rated on a 0-5 scale, with 0 meaning dead/no flowers and 5 meaning plants are healthy and uniform with impressive flowering. The"Top Performers" were chosen based on their overall high ratings and then a committee of local horticultural pros met to discuss the results.Beautiful silver, cordate leaves were very attractive all growing season creating dependable, bright spot of color in shady areas. Foliage was described as having less veining and were relatively thick giving it substance and creating a strong mat of silver leaves, great for contrasting with other plants, like darker leaved heucheras.

However, once established in the garden, one should expect ‘Little-Pye’ to grow to make a statement in the garden, reaching upwards of 6 feet tall. So, we wouldn’t recommend putting this in the front of the border…place it somewhere where it can fill out and reach for the sky. ‘Little-Pye’ makes for a beautiful show in late summer landscape, with blooms covering the canopy at its peak. And the inflorescences remained attractive after flowering, offering winter interest or potential use as a dried flower. Plants were very uniform with strong stems that held the impressive inflorescences from lodging.
