About this plant
These are multi coloured hybrids in tones of lilac-pink, rosy-pink and orange. The flowers are whorled round the long, slender flowering stalks. The foliage mass takes the form of ample, lush, misty-green rosettes. Planted en masse, they make a vibrant show of colour. The flower heads appear to float over the leaves and make rich blobs of colour. Grow them in a moist site with shade from the sun at the height of the day.

Autumn · Planting
Remove offsets to create new plants
Offsets are small plants or shoots that develop around the parent plant. They should have developed a root system of their own before they are detached. They can be planted directly, or grown in pots if so small they could be 'lost' in the garden.

Water to keep the soil moist
For best results, this plant needs soil that is always moist. Water deeply and regularly as soon as soil appears dry. Even for established plants in the ground, a dry week can cause problems with some soils. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather. Or install an automatic irrigation system which will do the hard work for you, even when you are away on holiday.
Without regular watering some plants never fully regain their beauty.
