Plant Highlights

This perennial grows to about 2' and has tall spikes of delicate, pink flowers from the end of winter till the middle of spring. It looks really delicate and fragile but in reality it is hardy and does very well in shady, slightly moist areas inland or in sun or part shade near the coast. Just protect them from salt spray if by the coast. This is a very reliable plant for shady border, pathways and planters.
