This tritoma arrived at the end of winter, it's the very first one I've grown and I chose it for its modest proportions, perfect for integrating into a not-too-large flower bed. Since it was still chilly when it arrived, I mulched it first. Since June, it has obviously experienced periods of intense heat and I watered it like all newcomers less than a year old. I'm really happy to have adopted it, its leaf clump has thickened and it even has a tiny little flower growing in the middle of this beautiful coral color specific to the variety. It seems sturdy and will undoubtedly be easier to divide when the time comes than its larger counterparts, some of which practically require a backhoe! Five stars because it's well worth it.

More information

Value-for-money
Stout variety, very floriferous, rather fast-growing, with a second flush of flowers in late summer, whose inflorescences are a vibrant coral red along the entire length of the spike. They emerge from a clump of long leaves resembling those of grasses. This perennial will have a striking effect in a medium or background of a border. Plant it in full sun, in a regular garden soil, that is not too dry in summer.
