From July to September, a multitude of light flowers appear, in the form of small tubes arranged in spikes 30 to 40 cm long, much larger than those of the standard variety.

For borders, plant every 60 cm. Does not support frequent watering or fertilizers. Throughout the summer, you will enjoy its long flowering.
