Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An old strain from Barnhaven in the UK, with flowers of charming shell pink with some deeper rose; 18-24” stems bloom late spring to mid-summer. They look wonderful in small groupings and thrive in moist soil sited in a sun to part shade location. Will reseed and create a little colony where happy! Great in bog gardens and streamside.
