Deep red buds open to pinkish-red flowers on full plumes. Flowers are held on red stems above the bronze-green foliage and blooms in midsummer.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
