Something to keep in mind when you consider buying this plant… there are compact, medium, and tall plants being marketed and sold as Viette's Little Suzy.
- Missouri Botanical Garden notes a height of 10-18". It seems likely this is the original selected cultivar height of "Viette's Little Suzy. The photo here displaying a National Botanical Garden tag shows this compact height. I have purchased this perennial at this compact height a few years ago and was hoping to find another.
- At the garden center today, I observed a medium sized plant with a commercial vendor tag for Viette's Little Suzy indicating a height between "18 - 24". Not what I was expecting.
- Online, the Ball Seed bench card describes Viette's Little Suzy with a height of 26 - 32". I was even more surprised to read this height description!
Perhaps the seed strain has reverted to the species height.
Just calling this to your attention so that you find the perennial height that meets your needs.
