In stock · from $14.99
Evergreen foliage tinged with black becomes deeper colored in cool weather. Dark purple stems hold large clusters of pink star-shaped flowers above the foliage from late summer into fall. Drought tolerant to xeric, requiring well-draining soils. If seed heads are left unpruned, they become food for birds in the winter and provide textural interest in the landscape.
