This clump-forming subshrub features upright, slender, glaucous stems with opposite, lance-shaped, fleshy, blue-green leaves. From late spring through summer, it produces abundant, rounded terminal clusters (cymes) of small, star-shaped, fragrant, deep pink to reddish-purple flowers, creating a soft, billowing effect that is highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. With a strong, deep taproot that allows it to thrive in rocky, dry conditions and self-seed gently, it is an outstanding choice for cottage gardens, rock gardens, slopes (for erosion control), coastal plantings, cutting gardens, and naturalized areas. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant and difficult to remove due to its deep root system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon \/ Red","offer_id":44139636555864,"sku":null,"price":16.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/IMG_1192_JPG.png?v=1779673328","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/centranthus-ruber","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
