It blooms earlier than most mountain fleece, bringing fresh color to the garden as summer turns to fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bright leaves hold up without scorching in full sun, and the plant grows vigorously into a broad mound about 16 to 20 inches tall and over 2 feet wide. Bees visit the late flowers, and deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlender, upright, bottlebrush-like spikes 3 to 4 inches long are packed with tiny cerise-red flowers, opening from deep red buds at the tips. The leaves are large, lance- to heart-shaped with pointed tips, in bright golden chartreuse, clasping the stems. The plant forms a broad, bushy mound about 16 to 20 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide. At peak bloom dozens of thin red spikes stand above the glowing yellow-green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlowing Reviews prefers richer, evenly moist soil than lavender, so plant it in a separate border or near a downspout or low spot where water collects, rather than in the dry lavender beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average to fertile soil that stays evenly moist; it does not like to dry out.
