Plant Description: This woody perennial blooms with eye-catching rose-pink flowers that can reach up to 8 inches in diameter. It grows in a compact clump of large, green foliage. It does best in full sun and with moderate amounts of moisture.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
