Mountain Fleeceflower |

The Mountain Fleeceflowers are widely used in European gardens, and now becoming more familiar here in North America. Plants form a tall, spreading clump of leathery green leaves, bearing long spikes of poker flowers beginning in midsummer, right through the fall. This selection features crimson-red spikes, over a tall and bushy clump. Give this plant elbow room. Wonderful for massing in moist areas. Excellent for cutting. Easily divided in early spring. While this plant is a steady spreader, it is not considered to be invasive in any way.
