Specially imported from USA by us, this deep red variety was sold to us as a shorter form than the ‘Atropurpureum’ more commonly seen in this country, however, after 3 or 4 years growing in good damp conditions it has reached the same six-foot heights as ‘Atropurpureum’ in our garden! It will, however, grow short (about 3 feet) in the first year or two. then need dividing to keep it compact. If you want REALLY dwarf varieties see our new ‘Little Joe’ and Baby Joe’ plants just imported from Holland.
