This is a compact short lived perennial, commonly grown as an annual. It has plume shaped flowers which range from pink to light purple. Flower spikes are usually  about 50cm long. It flowers in winter through to early summer, and makes an excellent cut flower lasting for a long time in a vase. This plant needs very good drainage to prosper, and thus it makes an excellent plant for  a pot .
