Description

A perennial herbaceous plant with an erect habit and compact habitus; appreciated by landscapers and garden enthusiasts at all levels of experience for its luxuriant blooms that appear from early summer to early autumn with a profusion of flowers grouped in umbrella-like inflorescences with bright, intense colours suitable for creating spots of colour in flowerbeds and borders as well as in pots and planters, even in compositions with other ornamentals. It does not require any special care, offering the best growth performance in preferably sunny positions and in soil free of waterlogging.
