A fantastic late summer to autumn flowering, tall perennial with dramatic foliage and contrasting flowers.
- From late August until October, stunning light pink to white bottlebrush flowers are produced which provide a stark contrast against the dark purple foliage beneath. The flowers have the most amazing scent, similar to sweet sherbet.
- The divided, fern-like foliage is a deep, bronze-purple colour which contrasts beautifully with surrounding plants and flowers.
- Thrives best in partial shade, as too much full sun can bleach the leaves, or lead to scorch if it dries out too much. It would work well as a tall backdrop in herbaceous and mixed borders.
- The flowers attract a huge range of bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, and is an important food source for the later part of the year.
