An ornamental plant with flowers that look like snapdragons. Most suitable for English styled gardens. Needs a lot of sunshine and moist, well drained soil that is rich in humus. Flowers in varieties of pink, lavender and white. Blooms fast and repeatedly. Easily propagated by herbaceous stem cuttings. I am growing the pink and lavender varieties in my home garden now. It flowers easily and can be propagated easily by the 'cut and plant' method.
