Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Scrophulariaceae
Plant Description: This showy perennial is characterized by blush pink flowers with dark purple centers that grow on tall stems. The leaves grow basally and are large and deeply veined. It will bloom repeatedly through the summer if located in the right spot. If flowers are not deadheaded it will self seed.

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.

As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
