Description

This compact perennial brings an unexpected twist to landscapes with unique, orchid-like bright pink flowers that bloom from early summer through autumn. Highly disease-resistant, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance, its striking dark foliage stays fresh and healthy all season long while effortlessly attracting waves of local pollinators

Plant Care

Water

Once established, this plant is highly drought-tolerant and requires well-draining soil to prevent soggy conditions.

Fertilizer

Do not fertilize regularly, as excess nutrients cause weak, leggy growth that makes the compact plant flop open in the center.

Pruning

Cut back by one-third after the first bloom cycle to encourage fresh growth and a massive rebloom, then cut down to the ground in late winter.

Seasons of Interest

Fresh, dark green foliage emerges in a neat, sturdy, compact mound. The leaves are highly disease-resistant, ensuring the plant looks healthy right from the start of the growing season. Summer to Autumn: This is its primary season of interest, blooming continuously from early summer well into autumn. It delivers months of reliable color with upright stems holding unique, bright pink, orchid-like flowers delicately speckled with deeper tones. It serves as a bustling hub for biodiversity, attracting large numbers of bees, bumblebees, and butterflies throughout these warm months.
