SPRING THRU FALL BLOOM! Do try my favorite cottagey perennial discovery of the past few years. You’ll love its non-stop bloom, pretty pink 1” hollyhock like flowers on upright branching stems to 30” tall & really appreciate how supremely strong & reliable it is in your garden, returning bigger & better after a Winter’s sleep. Cut spent spikes for best show. Butterflies & hummingbirds love them too! A nice tight foliar mound of rich green scalloped leaves sits firmly on the ground Spring thru Fall & will go deciduous in colder climates. Endangered native to coastal meadows & marshes of British Columbia, Washington & Oregon. Easily grown in a container - at least 5 gallon size - & makes nice romantic cut flowers too! Tolerates salt! Rich soil for best show. To 30” x 30”.
