Clumps of upright stems with lobed slightly downy leaves produce slender spikes of pale pink flowers to 1.8m. The leaves become strongly flushed purple in summer/autumn. Good soil in sun/part shade.
I'm unsure if this form from Cally Gardens just represents a selected form of the native plant or if it's from far flung lands. This is distinctive, and more robust, compared to British native plants we've grown before.
