This bushy upright perennial produces vibrant pink tubular bell-shaped flowers during summer. White stamens protrude from the purple veined throats. 'Threave Pink' has attractive narrow lance-shaped green leaves with toothed margins.

To promote long flowering of this perennial, deadhead as the flowers fade. Do not be tempted to cut this perennial down before the winter, leave the top growth to protect it. In spring, after the last frosts have passed, cut the plant back hard. Softwood cuttings can be taken during the summer. Happy to grow in any fertile, moisture retentive, free-draining soil, in sun or partial shade.
