A vigorous sprawling perennial carrying narrow pink foxglove flowers. Deep green lance shaped leaves are symmetrically arranged on long stems. Give space to root into the ground. Flowers throughout the warmer months. Try not to disturb the roots.

Stellar performer with big flowers of pinkish salmon flowers which are mellow enough to blend well in the border yet rich enough to stand alone as a focal point of color. You need to like this color as it is no flash in the pan with an established clump blooming from early summer well into fall.
