Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

Resembling the cottage garden Sweet William, this unusual dryland species is notable for its showy display of dark-red, clustered flowers, held high on wiry stems. The long, narrow tufts of blue-green foliage give it a distinctive look. Blooms late spring to early summer. Fabulous cut flower. The foliage clumps grow about 8 inches or so, with the flower soaring upwards to 24 inches; grows about 12 inches wide.
