鐵筷子 '淡粉'

The nodding, cup-shaped flowers are exactly the soft blush pink in the photo, and the foliage is a rich, healthy green that fills the border nicely. It’s late winter here and these are already putting on a show when everything else is still bare.

Planted these in a shady spot under a birch tree and they've been blooming non-stop for weeks. The blush-toned flowers really stand out against the dark, rich foliage.

They arrived looking a bit tired but settled in fast, and now the nodding cup-shaped flowers are catching light every morning. Even on gray days the rich green foliage keeps the bed from looking empty, which is exactly what I needed for this corner.
