The seeds we offer have been harvested from plants grown by us from seed collected in Tianzhushan, Anqing, Anhui, China. A beautiful perennial that is native to China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and India with serrated leaves and delicate clusters of airy, pink flowers, fading to pale pink in summer through to late autumn, followed by fluffy seed heads. Populations are quite variable in the wild and this one has quite distinctive mottling on the stems. A fantastic plant for pollinators. Height up to to 1 metre.
