100% Peat-free All our plants are propagated and grown on peat-free, from scratch, on our nursery.

A gift from Roger Grounds many years ago this grey-green leafed species produces sprays of reddish flowers to 1.2m. Spreading. For moist-wet soils in sun.

I believe this was collected by the late Greg Speichert from a roadside ditch!
