A striking vertical accent, this 18-30" bloom-machine will produce its showy red-violet spikes in early summer (longer if deadheaded) when it will attract butterflies, hummers and anyone with a vase in-hand! S/M (not dry)

Named after my sister. I made this selection from a light pink mixture. This one has unique colored fuschia pink spikes in July on 24" stems above deep green glossy foliage. Full sun, well drained soil. An Intrinsic Introduction!
