A big species for the perennial garden with masses of pinkish purple flowers whorled densly on the 2' flowering stems.

By: Arrowhead Alpines

Poised on sturdy, curving stems, the showy terminal spikes host pretty pink tubular flowers and green calyxes arranged in evenly spaced whorls. Scalloped lance-like foliage forms an appealing, dark green leafy mound, some 20 in. below the long lasting blooms. Matched with Achillea 'Hella Glashoff' and Aster asperlus, this well-favored Stachys graces the edge of our pathway.
