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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaching 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarnsdale tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJune-October flowering. Drought tolerant. Best in a sunny and moist, well-drained position, but will take semi-shade.
