An evergreen perennial, with graceful, arching stems of bell-shaped white flowers with neat, dusky pink markings in the throat. This pale coloured form of this popular Angel's fishing rod is perfect for introducing movement to a well-drained border in a sunny, sheltered site, or for overhanging water. Initially slow to establish, it looks particularly good with early autumn-flowering ornamental grasses. Unfortunately, though, it is not suitable for pots. - Garden care: Water freely during the growing season, but protect against excessive winter wet. Remove old foliage in early spring and once established, lift and divide congested colonies at the same time.
