Height x Spread: 70cm x 45cm
Shaggy, tufted flowerheads of narrow, rose pink petals are held on strong, upright stems cloaked with very fragrant, mid green, dagger-shaped foliage. Deservedly popular for its long flowering and prolific display.
This plant adds interest and texture to the middle of any cottage garden or herbaceous border. Ideal for a prairie or wildlife garden, it will attract bees in their droves. To get the best results, plant it in full sun or partial shade, in a moist but free draining soil that is fairly rich with humus.
