 Stachys coccinea
“Red Mint” “Texas Betony”
Easy
and long blooming, this Texas native bears 1 1/4”, coral-red, tubular
flowers arranged in pretty whorls around 12”-18” tall, erect stems. The
attractive, grey-green leaves have serrated edges and form a neat mound. A
must for the front to middle of the flowerbed and excellent in containers.
Combine it with something blue, like Gilia achilleafolia or Delphinium
bellamosum. A great HUMMINGBIRD MAGNET! Deer resistant too! “Texas Betony”,
will bloom Spring thru Fall and prefers rich loamy soil |
