So popular with florists, it has become known as Bridal Wreath. Handsome, rosettes of shiny semi-evergreen foliage cradle many spires from July to September, each holding a plethora of small pink flowers with a red blotch at the base. Long graceful stems make them good for cutting and they last well in a vase. During the summer the heads get even larger, really showing off her full beauty. Prefers moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Fully hardy perennial.
