Hula Dancer is a hardy prairie perennial with narrow, dark green foliage and large, daisy-like flowers on rigid stems reaching 2–3' tall. Its pale pinkish-purple petals droop dramatically around spiny, coppery-orange centers, creating a striking summer display from late June into July with occasional blooms into fall.
