Standing 20-24 inches tall and up to 38 inches wide, 'Pink Crush' forms a dense mound of dark green foliage with extra sturdy stems. Mid August into September the bright pink flowers emerge forming a massive ball of color. Pair with 'Grape Crush' for a duo of color.

Reviews

They are doing great, cant wait to see them bloom next year.

I bought two of these, and one is doing fabulously. The other one, planted in the same soil and watering conditions, looks almost exactly as it did when I planted it. It doesn't seem to be growing - no idea why. The first one is beginning to develop blooms, and I'm excited to see it grow.
