Plant description
A graceful, evergreen perennial, with arching stems of bell-shaped, pale to dark pink flowers which appear to dangle above the clumps of grass-like foliage. The delicate-looking stems are actually very tough and seem to tremble in the breeze. Perfect for introducing movement to a garden, 'Pink Rocket' is best suited to a well-drained border in a sunny, sheltered site, or for overhanging water. Initially slow to establish, it looks particularly good with early autumn-flowering ornamental grasses. Unfortunately though, as it is quite deep rooted, it is not suitable for pots.
