Origin : discovered by landscape designer Paul Miskovsky on his property on Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) in 2008.

This random seedling was shared with North Creek Nurseries (Landenburg, PA), properly trialed and later on introduced ‘Cape Breeze’ to the market. Patented under PP24895, propagation prohibited.

Offers endless combinations with majority of common perennials for sun (those that prefer drier or medium-moist conditions). Look good with bigger flowers (and seedheads) of big flowers like Echinacea, Rudbeckia, but also fall Asters, Chelone, taller Coreopsis, Helenium, Heliopsis, Helianthus, Hemerocallis (later blooming ones), herbaceous Hibiscus, tall Phloxes, Physostegia.
