Double Play Candy Corn
Double Play Candy Corn is a powerhouse of color from the red foliage emerging in spring to summer's brilliant yellow and blazing orange in the fall. Oh, and let's not forget the purple blooms in late spring to early summer. Throw in a compact, mounding habit, easy to care for with no pruning and you have one amazing plant.
