We recently were on vacation and I saw this beautiful plant at the Denver, CO Zoo. It was approximately 12-16" high and was in an area that probably received mostly sun. They were in "clumps" but planted close together. I would love to know what kind of plant it is and whether or not it would grow where I live in Zone 7 (North Carolina). Thanks in advance for helping this very novice gardener.
