It is ideal for borders, fence lines, and feature planting where dramatic height and long-lasting summer colour are desired. Its upright growth habit creates strong vertical structure while attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.

It performs best in sheltered positions where tall stems are protected from strong winds and may benefit from staking. Perfect for cottage-style landscapes and traditional garden designs, it delivers impressive seasonal displays and cut flowers.
