Outstanding spikes of rose-lavender flowers open from the top down in early summer. The foliage is green, narrow, and opposite. It is deer resistant, attracts butterflies, and makes a great cut flower. A fantastic plant that adds vibrant color and excellent stature to the garden. One of the best perennials for the sunny border.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Plant in full sun. Grow in moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Dislikes heavy soil, which may cause it to rot over winter.
The plants arrived carefully packaged and in great condition. I could not put them in immediately but kept them watered and in dappled shade. They are happily blooming in my garden today. Couldn't be happier with this plant purchase.
Planted in full sun and the blooms have been relatively uneven but the plant seems to be hearty. Nice color. The real test will be if they bloom this next spring.
