Description

Liberty-bag-purple flowers from May until November, covered with bees and butterflies as soon as the sun shines. If you want just one plant in a pot for all summer and autumn this has to be a contender.

Care Tips

Protect young plants from frost and plant in a sunny, free-draining spot. Do not prune back in winter, keep current years growth and remove when new shoots appear. Mulch annually.
