    Tight clusters of large, bright crimson flowers are carried on slender, arching stems from mid-summer to autumn. ‘Hellfire’ is perfect for growing in swathes throughout the herbaceous border, especially in hot or tropical planting schemes; this RHS award-winning perennial works well as a cut flower too!

  • Garden care: Resist removing the faded foliage in autumn and cover the crown of the plant with bracken or bark chips to protect the plant against frost damage. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring, planting the divided sections 8-10cm (3-4in) deep.
