An early flowering cultivar (April-June) with partly open, slightly nodding, pink flowers that are paler at the edges. The sepals are deep pink on the outside and pale pink on the inside. From June to autumn the plant is adorned with decorative fluffy seedheads. Very hardy and undemanding, it will tolerate semi-shade. Ideal for growing over fences, rocks, stumps, bushes and conifers.Raised by B. Fretwell, United Kingdom.
