Description

Kent Beauty has rosy bracts that create pendulous flowers resembling flowers from the hops plant. Long trailing blooms appear in summer and fall. Prized as dried flowers. It is tolerant of full sun to light shade. Foliage is heart-shaped and blue green and aromatic. It does best with well draining, sandy or rocky soil. Established plants do best being watered every 7-14 days. A bee magnet but not for deer. Prune back in winter to tidy plant and encourage new blooms.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
