inch intense, hot pink plumes - a chinensis hybrid therefore
blooms later, more sun tolerant and more drought resistanth |
|
Care |
Deadheading will not increase blooms.
Dried seed heads may be left on the plant to provide
late season interest.
If plants become dry and crisp in a drought year, you may
cut them back to the ground.
New green growth will appear.
Do not cut back in fall, but prune in spring. |
