This eye-catching perennial forms dense mounds of silvery-blue foliage, topped with upright stems carrying vivid, true red, fringed flowers from late spring into summer—and often again in fall. Known for its strong color saturation and excellent performance in heat, ROCKIN'™ Red attracts butterflies and pollinators while staying compact and tidy. It thrives in sunny spots with well-drained soils and pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and other drought-tolerant perennials. Whether planted in masses or as a vibrant accent, it brings energy and elegance with very little fuss.
