PINACOLADA™ is a fantastic, low and compact growing perennial and its Dark Rose Shades series is reliably hardy to minimum -29°C. It is called beard-tongue and offers small, tubular-shaped flowers of rosy-pink flowers from June until August. Or it can be cut back after the main flowering season in midsummer and it will re-bloom in September.

Leaves are deciduous, linear, mid green and flowering stems are not taller than about 20 cm. Pinacolada likes fertile, well-drained soil that does not dry out completely, especially in its first year. The soil should be neutral to partly alkaline (no peat). It can be grown in full sun or part shade, it does well in outdoor pots with good drainage.
