It's sturdy - bolt upright without needing support - maybe 5ft tall or so. Many blooming stems. And the late season of bloom is always a plus (note the fall color in the background). I really don't know which one I have, but it has reseeded in several other areas. Blooms perfectly well in fairly deep shade. And amazingly enough, my voracious deer don't bother it. I have been so pleased with it that I bought a few other colors last yr - pink, white & bicolor. They're too small to have flowered yet, though I got a single white bloom, which I was disappointed with, since it looked like a muddy white to me. But I'll wait til the plant matures to see if it looks nicer w/ maturity. By the way, I love the foliage on that big mystery plant of yours, Alta! |
