Description

This charming perennial is prized for its velvety, dark maroon flowers which add a rich, chocolatey tone to the garden. It attracts pollinators and works well in sunny borders or containers, offering a unique scent reminiscent of cocoa.

Ideal for gardens with well-drained soil, it prefers a warm, sheltered spot with full sun exposure. It is not fully hardy and may require protection during colder months in the UK.
