A stunning German bred plant with dozens of spikes of glowing rich deep violet flowers beginning in late spring. After about 10 weeks of extraordinary beauty the flowers pass their prime and we cut the whole plant to the ground. After 2 or 3 weeks this ruthlessness is rewarded by another display which goes on from late summer until winter. Happy in our double borders which are watered regularly as well as our dry climate garden. Sun. 50cm x 40cm.
