Perennial
Moisture lover
Part shade is ideal
This one emerges later than the shorter varieties, and sets out whorls of rich cherry red flowers
Long bloom period
Deer resistant
Grows to about 18” tall
It will underperform if it gets dry
Rich soil-these naturally grow along the banks of woodland streams
Will self-seed, just deadhead before it starts to do so.
Pair with ferns, rushes, hostas, and mosses
Sow in situ or winter sow onto moisture retentive but light weight soil
