Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From a famous Irish of the same name, 2-3’ tall plants are clumps of grass like foliage from which wire like, almost invisible 3-4’ flower stems wave over the evergreen leaves, bobbing with bells of pinks, reds & lavender mid summer. Well drained, moist soil in full sun; protect from cold winter winds.
