Currently unavailable
Mounded purple-green foliage begins growing as the heat of summer arrives. Within a few weeks, pink-purple flowers up to 7 inches wide bloom freely, lasting only a day or two each, but readily replaced by more until frost. Easy to care for and only requires one pruning a year. Flowers best with consistent irrigation through summer heat, but can tolerate some drought conditions.
