The bright, tubular flowers stand out beautifully against the neat, aromatic foliage, bringing lively colour and movement to sunny borders. Cherry Lips is ideal for gravel gardens, pots and naturalistic planting schemes, and is well known for attracting bees and other pollinators throughout its long flowering season. Its tidy habit and steady performance make it a great choice for adding warm, uplifting tones to summer displays.
