Licorice-scented silvery green narrow foliage complements the gorgeous sprays of coral-orange flowers with contrasting rosy violet buds. The elegant spires of bloom and fine foliage creates a haze of color all summer and fall. Deadhead to continue ample bloom. Best in very well-drained soils with a gravel mulch. Avoid heavy clay soils for successful overwintering, and wait until earliest spring to cut back. Drought tolerant once established, water regularly the first year.
