About This Plant

Sometimes called "Handsome Harry," its short nature makes it a great plant for borders or edges. Solitary bees that "buzz pollinate" vibrate the pollen off yellow anthers, which are offset by bold pink petals. It can spread rapidly. Red fall foliage make this an attractive plant in all seasons.
