Description

'Bubblegum Blast' forms a solid dome of hot pink, 2-2.5” flowers on strong, well-branched stems in mid-summer. The dark green foliage forms an upright clump that will fill out containers nicely but won’t run all over the garden. Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Foliage smells like mint when crushed.
