Plant description
Rich in nectar and irresistable to butterflies, the cone-shaped clusters of rich purple flowers, not only look great, but they'll also help sustain vital pollinators. A recently introduced hybrid, these plants are reliably compact, so they're perfect for placing at the front of the border - and they will also do really well when potted up and placed near a sunny entrance or patio.
