This pink poker flower grows on a long stem up to 100cm (if conditions are right). It begins showing itself via low growing ground cover leaves through which the long stems appear producing first blooms around the same time as late tulips and alliums. It looks really beautiful paired with alliums in both the borders and in a vase and makes an excellent cottage garden plant.
It will spread throughout the border increasing in size and the number of flower heads year after year. Repeat flowers after first flush.
💐 Makes an excellent long lasting cut flower.
