a.k.a. Purple Berkheya
Berkheya purpurea
Zulu Warrior is a deep rooted and drought tolerant South African native perennial well-equipped for adversity. Magnificent 3 in. single, dahlia-like, smoky-lavender flowers with dark purple centers bloom quickly the first year from seed. Blooms are held atop 3 ft. flower stalks which are heavily armored with spiky, wing-like modified leaves.
The flattened rosettes of spiny, silvery green leaves can reach 2 ft. in diameter. Leaves are covered in a silky white webbing. Zulu Warrior produces superb fresh-cut flowers. Seed pods are spectacular in dried arrangements. Zulu Warrior plants are winter hardy to zone 6.
