Crimson Butterflies is a compact, mounding perennial known for its striking dark crimson foliage and vibrant hot pink flowers. Reaching about 18 inches tall, it features narrow, lance-shaped leaves that provide a rich backdrop for wand-like panicles of dainty blooms. These flowers appear from late spring through autumn, swaying gracefully in the breeze. Ideal for sunny borders, containers, or small gardens, it thrives in well-drained soil and exhibits excellent drought and heat tolerance once established.
