About
Vibrant single or double flowers add dramatic effect to butterfly or hummingbird gardens. Great as a background planting for smaller plants and along walls and fences. Most attractive at the center of a grouping that will mask its midseason foliage. A short-lived perennial or biennial that readily reseeds.
