Highlights

  • Showy heart-shaped pink flowers that bloom from spring to early summer, adding a touch of elegance to any garden or landscape.
  • Compact size and mounded shape make it ideal for planting in rock gardens, borders, and containers, as well as along paths and walkways.
  • Low maintenance and easy to grow, this plant prefers partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, and will attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.

Care Guide

  • Water Needs: Water the plant deeply once a week.
  • In-Season Pruning: Deadhead the flowers regularly to encourage the plant to continue blooming. Cut back the plant when the foliage starts to yellow or look untidy.
  • End-of-Season Pruning: Cut the plant back to the ground after it has died back naturally in mid to late summer.
