A virtually hassle-free perennial, offering three months of vanilla scented, rose pink flowers in large, compact clusters from midsummer to early fall.
Deadheading the flowers will stimulate another bloom cycle about a month after the first one.
The flowers are heavily laden with nectar and pollen and will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.
For best growth plant in well-drained sandy soil.
