Silver-fuzzy leaves (and stems too) on an upright plant, with popping-pink flowers from mid-summer onward, arriving in foot-long spikesto Fall with flashy, 12" spikes of rosey blooms held in rich violet-purple calyces. Does best when cut back by half or more in winter. Photos above are for seedlings in July, a few months old, already developing an amazingly dense fur coat.
