Beautiful delicate pink flowers are produced from July to September in shady spots. The flowers aren't particularly attractive to our native pollinators but this plant is slug-resistant and grows in areas that are often prone to slug damage making it a valuable addition for anyone interested in pesticide-free gardening.
Grows to 1.2m high and 60cm across in partial shade and a moist but well-drained soil. This plant dies back completely over winter so it's a good idea to mark the spot where you planted it.
