  • Description

  • Notes

This is one of the most charming spring bloomers! From mid to late spring, downward-facing, mauve-pink bells with bright yellow stamens bloom before foliage emerges. As the flowering season nears an end, leaves emerge, a soft green to grey-green, deeply serrate, and slightly fuzzy. Unlike some spring bloomers, the foliage is attractive all summer. Flowers are followed by puffs of feathery seed heads which are quite showy. Use in perennial borders, parkstrips, along walk ways. Generally grows about 6 to 10 inches tall and wide.
