Its long flowering period makes it an invaluable asset for extending seasonal color in borders, mass plantings, or as a vibrant specimen. 'Hidcote' is a relatively low-maintenance plant, tolerant of various soil conditions once established, and offers a resilient choice for adding enduring beauty to your garden.
