    A new form, which has a more upright habit (both foliage and flowers) than many of the others - and it is also said to be hardier! It's a generous bloomer too, producing its soft pink to near-white flowers, which turn biscuit shades, over a long season from midsummer. These elegant flowers are soft to the touch, so it will make a great addition to the sensory garden, and looks great when planted in large numbers where it will catch the slightest breeze.

  • Garden care: A generous layer of mulch in autumn will help keep the roots warmer in winter. Prune back the previous years growth each spring.
