'Vision in Red' has striking purplish red spikes which sit on top of mounded dark green foliage. The thick, fluffy panicles are comprised of tiny densely packed flowers which bloom June to July. The dark purple stems stand 18 inches high. 'Vision in Red' does well in partial shade to shade and will add a welcome touch of color to a shady garden. It is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds while it is resistant to rabbits and deer. This is an excellent cut flower. After the blooms have died, the stalks with the dried seed heads are often left in place for winter interest.
