Physostegia virginiana 'Vivid' bears tubular, open-mouthed flowers that ascend 6- to 8-inch spikes. The color of the tube of each flower subtly becomes dark rose and white on its lower lip, giving each a delicate beauty. However, en masse the blooms are as bright as the cultivar name indicates. From a distance their arrangement on the stem seems almost geometrical, perhaps even herringbone-like. Vigorous, long blooming, easy to grow and excellent for cut flowers.
Midsummer to early autumn. 1-2 ft. x 1 ft.
Bright Rosy Pink flowers
Sun, Part Shade Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 |
