Glandularia ‘Sissinghurst’ is a beautifully rich, pink blooming variety, which forms a stunning ring of pink petals when in full flower. Flowers push upwards and outwards to form this unique ring of colour. No wonder this semi-evergreen perennial holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its distinctive and dependable appearance. Plants will trail magically from hanging baskets, containers and window boxes as well as being suited to cottage or patio garden schemes. Blooms emerge in June and last through to the first frosts in autumn. Glandularia ‘Sissinghurst’ is a drought tolerant, semi-evergreen bedding plant which also makes excellent groundcover and is sure to impress in your garden this year. Glandularia ‘Sissinghurst’ prefers to be planted in moist, well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay in a position with full sun. It is grown as a half-hardy perennial, withstanding temperatures down to around -5°C, so unless you garden in the far south, you will need frost protection over winter. H & S: 30-50cm.
