Blooming in mid to late spring, each stem may carry up to 30 flowers. This beautiful scenery is complimented by lanceolate, gray-green leaves.
- Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
- Specimens that receive what they need often continue to flower year after year in the same location.
- Plant in fall in a full sun area in organically rich, moist but well-drained soil for best results. The soil must drain quickly and thoroughly; heavy soil will definitely need the addition of extra sand.
- Spectacular in groupings in beds, borders, rock gardens or naturalized areas.
- Deer and rabbit resistant
