False Goatsbeard
Bressingham Beauty has beautiful plumes of hot pink in early to mid summer. The thick, fluffy panicles are comprised of tiny densely packed flowers. In the early spring, the foliage is burgundy but turns dark green in the summer. The compound leaves are deeply cut and fern-like. Bressingham Beauty grows tall, reaching a height of 3 ft. It 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.
