Gorgeous foliage and a long flowering season.
This terrific shade plant forms a robust. compact habit of beautiful bluegreen leaves that resemble a fern's fronds. From late spring to early fall. clusters of dangling. deep cerise-pink flowers grow above this striking foliage. Butterflies and honeybees find these heart-shaped. 1" blooms simply irresistible. One of the very best perennials for adding colour to shaded areas. and a great companion for your hostas and ferns. Excellent for edging and container use.
