The striking color of these good-sized flowers will remind you of delicious summer peaches. Held about 6 in. above the fine dense mat of dark green foliage, they blend beautifully with Nepeta ‘Kit Kat’ and Scutellaria ‘Moonbeam’. Take advantage of this cultivar’s vigorous growth in a rock garden or in the front of a border with Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ and Salvia sinaloensis.

Blooms April–October.

Size: 12" high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 8.
