'Thunderhead' has huge, deep rose flower heads in summer on upright stems above grey-green, burgundy-infused foliage. The huge, billowing flower heads will astound you in your summer garden. Great foliage interest is provided by the succulent leaves that emerge blue green with burgundy highlights, then develop bolder burgundy, brown and red colouration over a bluish background. Awesome.
