The Tassel flower is a small, intriguing plant on the front edge, producing tiny scarlet-orange pompoms that appear to float in mid-air when viewed from a distance.
The flowers stand on stiff stems that rise from a basal rosette of bluish-green leaves. Plants sometimes grow on their own if placed in a good location. Also known as Cupid’s shaving brush or Emilia, the tassel flower is a genus of over 100 species[1] in the Asteraceae family found primarily in the tropics of the Old World.
