A colourful upright perennial also known as 'Sticky Catchfly', as sometimes small insects can be found stuck to its distinctive sticky brown stems. 

- From late May to July, panicles of vibrant magenta-pink flowers are produced in abundance on slightly sticky upright stems. Regular deadheading will prolong flowering time. 

- Leaves are dark green in colour, and are narrow and pointed in their shape.  

- Thrives in full sun or semi shade with well draining soil, it is commonly found in cottage and informal gardens. It's a very tough, resilient plant, also perfect for rockeries, coastal and container gardens, and lasts very well as cut flowers too.

- Flowers are hugely attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.

- Height and Spread approx. 40cm x 40-60cm. 

- Supplied in a 9cm pot
