From the name you would think that this would rampage through your border with no grace. Not true, it is short, requiring no support and the light pink flowers are extremely pretty for many weeks in mid summer through to Autumn.\u00a0It\u2019s easy-to-grow, and is a long blooming perennial which produce loads of narrow, pink, bottlebrush-like spiked flowers atop tall, dark stems for nearly 5 months beginning in early summer.\u00a0The large, ovate, deep green leaves are clasped directly to the stems and form an upright, bushy clump in the landscape.\u00a0 It spreads slowly but is not invasive.\u00a0 Makes an interesting ground cover when planted in drifts.

A rather unusual form with shorter distinct, arching, rather gooseneck like spikes of soft pink flowers throughout summer. Pointed leaves have a blueish tinge. Easily grown and free flowering. Best in a moisture retentive soil in sun or shade.<\/p>\n
