Ornamental Features:

Pink Gas Plant features beautiful spikes of lightly-scented shell pink flowers with purple veins rising above the foliage in early summer, which emerge from distinctive purple flower buds, and which are most effective when planted in groupings. It's compound leaves remain forest green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.

This is a relatively low maintenance perennial, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Pink Gas Plant is recommended for the following landscape applications;

• General Garden Use
• Mass Planting

Plant Characteristics:

Pink Gas Plant will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This perennial does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under typical garden conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This plant can be propagated by seed.

This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America, and parts of it are known to be toxic to humans and animals, so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets.
