“Glitter” is an herbaceous perennial grown for its interestingly coloured foliage which is a silver with dark veins and a purple-dark red undertone. Flower spikes emerge above the foliage during summer to bear masses of red flowers. It typically grows to 25 cm tall and 35 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of short periods of dry and in cold climates it may die back during winter to regrow again in spring. “Glitter” is commonly used for adding colour to a border or mixed planting, planted around outdoor living areas, included in cottage gardens, or maintained in a container.
