Plant description
This is a lovely old Waterers hybrid, that has large trusses of lavender pink flowers, each lightly freckled with rusty red spots. These emerge in late spring from deep, iridescent purple buds, that form at the ends of the leafy stems. Easy to grow, it tolerates cold and partial shade, and its dense rounded habit offers year-round structure. A must for the woodland garden.
