Description

An annual ornamental herb with vigorous growth and an upright habit; from late spring to the end of summer, it produces striking, showy panicle-shaped inflorescences, resembling feathers in warm, attractive colours, which are highly attractive to pollinating insects. Due to its growth and flowering characteristics, it is considered an ideal plant for landscaping in flowerbeds, including those along roadsides, either as individual plants or in combinations with other species or varieties of differing heights and flower colours, in order to create visual interest and ensure continuous flowering over the course of several months; It is also suitable for enhancing terraces and balconies in pots and planters.
