This towering beauty might as well be called King Kong, it’s so big. Like its brother, American Giant, Kong is tall – really tall – and stays standing in the garden. This amazing cultivar can reach up to 15 feet in height and produces flowers up to 10 inches in diameter starting in mid-summer. Not only is Kong very tall, it has a branching habit so it produces numerous 5-6” flowers instead of just one per plant. Full sun. Photo courtesy of Veseys.
