Butterflies love it, it's tough and maintenance free, and it blooms all summer into fall. What an excellent plant! That could explain its vote as PPA Plant of the Year for 1998. Deep rose-colored flowers have broad petals that are not as droopy as straight purpurea. Blooms July through Sept.
Thrives in full to part sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Removing spent blooms will prolong flowering.
