My granddaughter found this beauty, her favorite color and SO fragrant! Double deep pink heavily scented flowers all summer over neat 8-10” mounds of blue green foliage. Needs sun, well drained alkaline soils (lime locally, or a great pot plant!), and some summer moisture. Deer amd rabbit resistant, easy and sweet.
