Nursery contributed plant descriptions

So aptly named! Like swirling skirts sublimely shaded in rose and pink, each bloom is a work of art! Semi-double, 1.5” flowers keep coming all Spring and more, especially if you dead-head them. Or cut back to 3-4” tall and they’ll bloom again. Bushy & compact blue-grey foliage. Beautiful with Penstemon heterophyllus 'Blue Springs'. Go for it! Will live several years if kept dry in Summer and self-sows! To 12” x 15”. Drought tolerant and deer resistant!
