Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Airy masses of deep pink flowers cover the red-tinged foliage from late spring through fall. This selection has a sturdy upright habit that does not have a tendency to fall open like other varieties do. Tolerates heat, drought, and humidity. Useful in sunny mixed borders and rock gardens, and in containers.

This new floriferous cultivar of the popular Southwest native was introduced by Plants Delight Nursery. Like a celestial shroud, myriad deep pink blooms appear to envelope its upright stance for months on end. With arching, wiry, reddish stems, wine-colored buds and narrow, maroon-mottled foliage, we plant it amidst Oenothera stricta, Nepeta, Lavenders and hardy Geraniums for an overall relaxed look. A late spring pruning and lean, well drained soil will ensure countless flowers and a more compact shape.
