Copperbell

Flower type: Biennial (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This giant flower grows up to 13.1 feet (4.0 meters) tall. Its moss green stem is wispy and straight with a curved tip, and the miniature, copper leaves are long, narrow with jagged edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.

Two medium-sized flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 64 cm (25.2 inches) wide, with solid copper petals decorated with turquoise dots and a dark brown central disk. The flower head is shaped like a sphere made up of 7 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. They are sturdy.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like pineapple, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird, but is enjoyed by several specific types of insect.


It is suitable for making baskets and the like
