Large fluffy sprays of rosy-lavender and white flowers on striking, reddish-brown stems above clumps of fern-like, grey-green leaves. This versatile perennial is perfect for the back of a border in partial shade, where the dainty foliage and flowers will provide an excellent contrast with coarser-leaved tall plants.
