Vastly improved Pink Cotton Candy Betony (Stachys officinalis ‘Pink Cotton Candy’) is a fabulous addition to your cottage garden border. Gorgeously full flowering on long spires, this selection blooms non-stop for 8 weeks in the height of summer.
Betony has long been carefully selected for choice features. Nature Hills also offers the velvety leaves of ‘Hummelo’ variety, but this variety is all about the blooms, baby! Pink Cotton Candy is a flower factory!
Starting in early summer, you’ll love the show. Tall, bicolored tubular pink blossoms attract hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators to your landscape. You may see reblooming later in the season.
Tidy, dark green foliage is a perfect foil for the dramatic flower heads. This is a very refined plant that works beautifully in any perennial garden border. Try it as a “thriller” in small container gardens – what a knock out!
Plant this selection in part shade. It will handle just about any soil, and only require occasional watering once established.
If you like pink, flowers, butterflies, plants, gardens or even just fragrant leaves – this Betony has it all.
