    • About this plant

      A beautiful variation of the classic 'Caradonna', this variety features delicate pink flowers instead of deep violet-blue, creating a softer, romantic look while retaining the dramatic dark stems. With its upright, clump-forming habit and aromatic foliage, it makes an excellent addition to cottage gardens, borders, and pollinator-friendly planting schemes.

    Planting guide

    Space plants 30–45cm apart in well-drained soil. Water well after planting and during dry spells until established.

    Care tips

    Plant in well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back old stems in early spring for fresh growth. Apply a light feed in spring to promote healthy flowering.

    Winter care

    Fully hardy, but a layer of mulch in colder areas helps protect roots from frost. Leaving some spent stems over winter can provide shelter for wildlife.
