Description

An ornamental herbaceous plant with a globular, well-bushy habit, whose ornamental value lies in its thriving and prolonged flowering, which brings colour and vibrancy to gardens, balconies and terraces throughout the spring and summer until early or mid-autumn, depending on the variety, with a profusion of inflorescences that are also highly attractive to insects beneficial for pollination and the preservation of biodiversity. Easy to grow, it adapts well to hot summer climates and is suitable both for uniform compositions and in combination with other ornamental plants, even those of different heights and plant habits, creating scenic landscape perspectives.
