Description

This is a head-turner that we adore this for its tall, elegant, and gently arching stems bearing the softest, frosted pink catkins above bright green foliage. Ideal for planting with grasses, scabious and gaura, and loved by bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. This also makes a magnificent cut flower, just on its own or mixed with other statuesque summer flowerers.

Care Tips

Encourage strong compact growth with a mid season chop. Divide plants in spring or autumn. Cut back stems close to ground level from late February through to the end of March.
