    Vigorous and hardy in zones 3-7, this late spring/early summer bloomer commands attention with its 30" stems bearing cylindrical clusters of soft pink flowers above low mounds of green ovate foliage. 'Superba' does like a moisture retentive soil, and it isn't happy in areas with long hot humid summers.
