    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Rosey red tapering spikes of color on 12-18" tall stems glow when paired with blues and purples! Blooms late spring to early summer…also a great cut flower. Low foliage clumps out to about 2 ½' and prefers sun to part sun, most soils and regular water. Attracts bees and butterflies, but repels deer.
