Gorgeous foliage and a long flowering season. This terrific shade plant forms a robust, compact habit of beautiful bluegreen leaves that resemble a fern's fronds. From late spring to early fall, clusters of dangling, deep cerise-pink flowers grow above this striking foliage. Butterflies and honeybees find these heart-shaped, 1" blooms simply irresistible. One of the very best perennials for adding colour to shaded areas, and a great companion for your hostas and ferns. Excellent for edging and container use.
