An Intrinsic Introduction!!! Named for my wife, true pink flowers float above grey-green foliage from early Summer until frost. This sterile form is less likely to go dormant and works nicely tucked into other plants reaching around 2' tall. Longer blooming than most, selected for its color compared to the lighter pink and magenta varieties. Full sun, well drained to moist soil.
