Numerous flowers rise on wiry stems above fern-like light green foliage. Blooms begin a light green, open soft pink then continue aging to raspberry purple and continuously appear from summer into fall. With sterile flowers, this plant will not spread by seed. Tolerates heat, full sun, alkaline soils, and occasional low water availability. Great for cutting, pollinator gardens, or parkstrips.
