This Himalayan native is full of delicacy and strength. Its prickly, aromatic foliage appears beneath pagodalike towers of jade green buds and white tubular florets. Eventually, the flowers turn rose-colored and then crimson. When the blossoms are spent, the standing green stems are perfect for dried arrangements.

Blooms June–August.

Size: 2-1/2' high x 18" wide.
