From mid-summer through to the first frosts, this plant produces a continuous display of richly coloured, fragrant flower spikes that create a magnet for butterflies, bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Key Features
- Compact growth habit ideal for small spaces
- Intensely fragrant cerise-pink flowers
- Exceptional pollinator attractor
- Low maintenance and drought tolerant
- Long flowering season from summer to autumn
Perfect For
Ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, wildlife gardens and patio containers. Plant near seating areas to enjoy the sweet fragrance and observe visiting butterflies. Excellent in sunny spots where space is limited.
Growing Tips
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for best flowering. Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming. Cut back in early spring to maintain compact shape and encourage vigorous new growth. Water during establishment but very drought tolerant once settled.
Looks Great With
Combines beautifully with lavenders, salvias, ornamental grasses and roses. The cerise tones complement silver foliage plants and contrast wonderfully with yellow-flowering perennials.
A superb choice for gardeners seeking maximum impact from a compact, easy-care shrub that brings life and colour to the garden throughout the warmer months.
