    Need one more hummer treat? This perennial doesn’t need much space at a neat and tidy 6” tall and 12” wide clump with upright stems topped with spikes of deep reddish pink in summer for weeks. Deer and critter resistant, drought tolerant, takes seaside conditions. Full sun, prefers well drained soil but tolerates clay, prefers regular water for best bloom. At home in the rock garden.
