    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Deciduous perennial, a rather tender beauty, shoots up soft green swords 2 ½’ followed by 4-5’ tall showy wands of glowing rose flowers with deep rose throats in mid spring. These plants need full sun and a warm site and once they go dormant after bloom in summer, they require dry soil to prevent rotting. Super cut flower (burn ends).
