Description

Perennial plants essential for compact, heavy, wet and marshy soils. They are highly resistant to cold, never get sick and live for a long time in the same spot. In addition to flowering, the foliage, more or less divided, is often decorative, although it disappears in winter.

Vigorous. Shiny dark green foliage. Early flowering in long spikes of bright lilac pink.
