    Stalks of soft-pink (apricot?) flowers top an 18-24" mound of attractive ferny foliage over most of the summer; serene beauty for border or shade garden. S-PSh/M

    By: Forestfarm

    A perennial mound of lush, arching, ferny foliage about 18” tall, topped with softest apricot flowers, fading to pink, late spring to early summer. Sun to part shade, regular moisture, average soil; at home in the border, the woodland or in a pot. Seeds about so you’ll probably have more!
