Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Beautifully variegated leaves of pink, cream and green with feathery, toothed edges make a splash in any garden! Cool, bottle brush burgundy blooms in summer rise to 3' tall on a 2' wide plant. RARE. Sun to light shade, moist soils (water edge is OK)…nice in the border in a mixed planting, great accent or as a shallow water aquatic in a water feature. Foliage plus!
Seldom seen in nurseries is this variegated form of Burnet. White edged foliage, sometimes tinged pink, distinguish it from the species. Maroon bottle brush flowers on 3' stems in late summer attract butterflies and pollinators. Plants enjoy an evenly moist soil in full or part sun. Plants form generous clumps, watch for an occasional growth spurt of solid green foliage, (remove).
