Plant description
Large clumps of deep mahogany-bronze foliage brood beneath bright, faintly-veined mauve-purple flowers with creamy white centres in early summer. Useful for difficult dry, partially shaded areas of the garden, the flowers rise to the beaked seed capsules (hence “crane’s bill”), attractive to bees, and despised by rabbits and deer! ‘Stormy Night’ is a great option for rock gardens, cottage gardens or effective ground cover in prairie-planting schemes.
