The upright flower spike creates a spectacular column of colour when the pink flowers, each with a white standard, open from early to midsummer. Ideal for creating vertical interest in a mixed or herbaceous border, their soft colouring means they are very easy to intermingle with other shades. - Garden care: Stake with bamboo canes in spring before the flowers appear and deadhead the faded blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers.
