    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The longish narrow leaves form a tidy little almost grass-like tuft at the base of the plant. Come summer, it throws up nearly leafless stems to a foot or so tall that are topped with great masses of intensely pink flowers. Can take partial shade and still flower well. Prefers good drainage.
