This show-stopping variety boasts striking black foliage that serves as a stunning backdrop to its masses of vibrant magenta-pink blooms. Blooming prolifically from summer through fall, Mystic Magenta adds a burst of color and elegance to any garden or landscape.
With an intermediate growth habit, Mystic Magenta reaches a height of 10 to 12 feet and spreads 8 feet wide, making it ideal as a specimen plant or for creating striking mass plantings.
