Physostegia – Pink Rose Crown -2 litre pot

This form is an American style of the normal white type; With one MAJOR DIFFERENCE  it is not so obedient!

This lovely plant was well behaved seed wise, germinating fairly easily and looking like its small white cousin, but there the similarity stopped!

It took a whole year to grow into a nice clump and by this time we saw that it is 3 times the height of its English cousin at around 90cm (3 feet).  It took the winter time well and resumed strong growth in late spring.

Gorgeous lilac coloured flowers arrived much later than its English cousin but when they did they were completely forgiven – a much taller plant the colour is superb and the flowering are brilliant food for pollinators.  The endurance and long flowering period are wonderful, similar to that of penstemon.
