Description

Enormous flower panicles held on upright red stems emerge creamy vanilla beginning in midsummer, changing to pink and finally to strawberry-red. As new blooms continually emerge, the plant becomes a multicolored visual masterpiece. At 6 to 7 feet tall, it has an upright habit that becomes more cascading later in the season.
