Characteristics

  • Foliage: Produces deep forest green, textured lanceolate leaves that create a dark backdrop, making the vibrant pink blooms pop.
  • Flowering: Displays spectacular double flowers with a dense, pompon-like centre surrounded by radiating petals, all bathed in saturated fuchsia.
  • Light: Requires full sun to maintain stem vigour and colour saturation.
  • Habit: Exhibits a compact, bushy, and very well-branched silhouette.
  • Growth: Reaches a mature height and spread of 45 to 60 cm.
  • Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil, though it adapts to various soil types once the root system is established.
  • Temperature: Benefits from excellent hardiness for northern climates (Zone 4).
  • Resistances: Effectively resists heat, fungal diseases, and moderate drought.

Use

  • Types of use: Integrate it into perennial mass plantings, garden borders, or use it to create a strong visual impact in containers.
  • Decorative advantages: Adds rich texture and a modern coloration that instantly energizes landscaping projects.

Maintenance

  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season; thereafter, water only when the soil feels dry.
  • Fertilization: Apply a granular perennial fertilizer in early spring to encourage abundant flowering.
  • Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new bud formation and cut stems back to ground level in early spring.
  • Planting: Space plants 45 cm apart in a hole enriched with high-quality compost.
  • Winter Protection: Apply organic mulch at the base to protect the crown during winters without consistent snow cover.
