Product Information
Despite its delicate appearance, this lovely plant is nigh on indestructible!
More than happy to grow in even the poorest of soils and dappled shade, it forms a cloud of clusters of tiny pink-purple blooms on fern-like foliage. Spells of poor summer weather do not seem to bother it and the plant look fresh, healthy and colourful all year – a brilliant choice year-round interest.
Ideal for mixed borders, it provides a lovely contrast against larger leaved shrubs and perennials and its haze of lilac blooms are not only great for filling up gaps outdoors but lovely for cutting and displayed in a vase indoors.
A great all-rounder, give this top-performing perennial a go!
