Now, here is a selection recently introduced from England that features a grassy mound of evergreen leaves in a smoky grey-plum shade. Come late spring, enjoy contrasting flowers of bright pink with a darker cherry eye and a clove-like fragrance. Hardy to zone 3. Unlike its blue flowered cousins, this plant offers spikes of soft pink flowers. These appear in early summer and will continue for an extended season if faded blooms are removed regularly.
Plants have a bushy, upright habit with sturdy stems of fragrant olive-green foliage.
Consider combining this with blue Delphiniums or the silver-leaved Artemisia 'Valerie Finnis'. Hardy to zone 4. Valleybrook Gardens Ltd.
