PERENNIALS

Crimson Butterflies Wand Flower- Produces dark crimson leaves and short, red stems that hold hot pink flowers just above the foliage. Plants grow just 18" tall and bloom all season. Bred by Howard Bentley of Plant Growers Australia in Victoria, Australia. Tolerates high humidity and is drought tolerant, adapting to a wide variety of soils. The dwarf habit is a great improvement over the sometimes-straggly varieties of this Genus. In greenhouse conditions it wants to bloom twelve months of the year but is perfectly hardy outside in most climates. Grow in full sun in any full-drained soil. Space about 12" apart.

Cold hardy in zones 6-9, 5 with protection.
