Porteranthus trifoliatus 'Pink Profusion'
Porteranthus trifoliatus 'Pink Profusion'
Common Name: Bowman's root

We've been enjoying this great native for many years in our garden, since it was given to us by the Mt. Cuba Center in 2001. 'Pink Profusion' has clear pink flowers that are held daintily above reddish leaves on deep red stems. The best part is the way the flowers shimmer in a light breeze, as though they will take flight at any moment.

Height: 24-30 Inches
Spread: 24-30 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-8
