Plants reach 90cm (35.5”) at maturity, and carry narrow-pointed, green foliage. Foliage color at time of emergence is reddish-green. Growth habit is upright, and mechanical support is unnecessary. Named ‘Country Artist’ for the flower form; a novelty, especially the inner petals, clustered together like a winter fire, like seaweed in the water, dynamic and artistic. The word “country” comes from our partner company, and we will name the cultivars we have bred together as the “country series”.
