Perennial
Height 30-34"
Spread 20-24"
This unique variety boasts a tall, columnar habit and stunning bicolor flowers. It offers ultimate worry-free gardening by naturally shrugging off deer, pests and plant diseases. Once established, this ultra-tough beauty is highly drought-tolerant, thriving on minimal watering while standing tall and proud in containers and landscapes.
Water
Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Drought tolerant once established.
Fertilizer
No fertillization is needed.
Pruning
Cut off faded or spent flowers as soon as they start to droop. Cut the entire flower stem further down, just above a healthy leaf bud or side shoot. This stops the plant from wasting energy making seeds and forces it to continuously push out fresh bicolor blooms all season long.
Summer
Bursts into bloom with vibrant bicolor flowers and showcases its unique, tall, columnar habit.
Fall
Flowers continue to bloom heavily right up until the first hard frost, providing late-season color when other plants fade.
Winter
Dried, dark seed cones stand rigid against the winter snow, adding architectural texture to the landscape while feeding hungry backyard birds.
