Blooming the first year from an early-spring sowing, it quickly forms a well-branched, upright plant about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. The 1- to 1 1/2-inch blooms begin as rich orange-brown buds in late spring and early summer, opening to bright salmon-pink, then darkening again as they mature. Each bloom lasts an incredible 2 months, and the plant is wonderfully floriferous, so you can imagine the display of multicolored pastel tones against the subtle grays and silvers of the foliage. In midsummer, a fully-blooming plant is a multicolor extravaganza!
Much more tolerant of cold climates than most Hyssops, this plant is hardy all the way through zone 4, and may be sown indoors for transplant in short-season areas. Of course, like most native plants, it direct-sows easily. Best in hot, dry spots, it is adaptable and carefree -- a lovely choice for a wildflower garden, naturalized meadowland, or other informal setting, but elegant enough for the bed or border, too. Pkt. is 50 seeds.
