  • Why we like this plant

    If your garden could use a splash of warm, earthy colour with minimal upkeep, Walther Funcke is a brilliant choice. Its coppery blooms blend beautifully with grasses and other late-summer perennials, and the soft, ferny leaves add texture and charm even when it’s not flowering. Plus, bees and butterflies love it — a win for you and for wildlife.

Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in full sun. Ensure good drainage, especially in winter, and avoid overly rich soil to maintain upright growth.

Care tips

Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Cut back hard in late winter for fresh spring growth. Divide clumps every 3–4 years to maintain vigour.

Winter care

Leave seed heads for winter interest and wildlife, then cut back old stems in late winter or early spring.
