Red and white flower parts join to form a rose-colored flower ~
bronze foliage and upright red stems |

Care |
Dried seed heads may be left on the plant to provide late season
interest. If plants become dry and crisp in a drought year, you
may cut them back to the ground. New green growth will appear.
Do not cut back in fall, but prune in spring. |
