Trifoliate blue-green leaves covered in soft hairs, offer a beautiful contrast for the conical clusters of magenta-red flowers, which open from silvery buds in summer. Attractive to beneficial insects including butterflies and bees, it is wonderful in naturalised planting styles.
T. rubens prefers to grow in moist, but well-drained soil with a neutral pH in a sunny soil. Cut back spent blooms after flowering to encourage a second flush.
