Gorgeous, dense masses of deep raspberry-pink blossoms grace the garden from May through fall. The dark, gray-green, very-aromatic foliage provides the perfect contrast to the bright flower display.

This cultivar shows good mildew tolerance and is perfect for pollinators; bees, butterflies and hummingbirds can't resist it! S/M-D PP29527
