Disappointed, the young plant arrived with the roots half decomposed and black, and without any sign of recent vegetation. No bud, nor anything else.

Description

Perennial plants essential for compact, heavy, wet, and marshy soils. They are highly resistant to cold, never get sick, and live for a long time in the same spot. In addition to flowering, the foliage, which is more or less divided, is often decorative, although it disappears in winter.

Spikes of a very bright magenta pink. Vigorous growth but more compact than large cultivars like 'Purpurlanze' or 'Purpurkerze'.
