Description
There are numerous seed-raised clones of this ôcultivarö that make their way through commerce, and though I will not declare that we have the real McCoy, I will say that it is particularly good and possesses a fine pedigree. Once tended by Eric Smith at Hadspen House in Devon, a division was kindly shared with me by Nori Pope who has brought the gardens at Hadspen back to life. The jagged-leaflet, pinnate foliage emerges with coppery purple tones forming magnificent clumps to 2.5 ft. over time, while the very pretty tiered panicles of flowers to 4 ft. are of a rich and titillating pink. Can be grown in full sun if provided especially rich and moist soil, though less challenging in shaded borders.
