A vibrant, compact powerhouse for the front of a sunny border, this modern variety brings an intense splash of colour where traditional, airier types might get lost.
Unlike the pale whites and soft pinks of taller varieties, this selection features rich, deep magenta-red blossoms that flutter like butterflies on slender, dark red stems. The foliage is equally striking, forming a neat, bushy mound of dark green leaves heavily flushed with burgundy, providing interest even before the flowers appear.
Reaching a manageable height of just 30–40cm, it is perfectly scaled for patio containers or edging a path, where it blooms tirelessly from early summer right through to the first frosts. It is a magnet for pollinators and thrives in hot, dry spots, showing excellent drought tolerance once its deep roots are established.
Barnsdale tip: This plant can be short-lived if it sits in cold, wet soil over winter. To help it survive, leave the old stems intact until mid-spring to protect the crown and apply a dry mulch (like bark or grit) around the base to improve drainage and insulation.
June-October flowering. Drought tolerant. Best in a sunny and moist, well-drained position, but will take semi-shade. Height & spread: 40cm x 40cm (16" x 16").
