This startling beauty keeps moles and voles away with its faintly skunky odour.
Statuesque and dramatic, Rubra Maxima adds colour and flair to your landscape. Plant in groups along the back of a sunlit border to draw the eye over the entire garden and highlight smaller plants at the front. Butterflies and other beneficial pollinators adore the clusters of bell-shaped flowers, but pesky deer and rodents detest the smell. Easy to grow, they require only regular watering and well-drained soil.
