'The King' fully deserves its royal name, as it is an exceptionally tall and impressive perennial. It stands out for its large flowers in a rich raspberry colour. The petals are very broad and surround a light brown, spiny cone at the centre. Thanks to its height and stiff stems, it is ideal for the back of a border, where it will rise proudly above lower-growing species. It is also worth remembering that at the end of the season these hard, upright centres can be cut and used in dried arrangements for the home.
