OTHER: Lady’s Paintbrush shines bright in the garden all summer long with masses of bright red flowers. With fuzzy flowers on top of narrow stems, they resemble an artist’s paintbrush over top of a basal rosette of blue green ferny foliage. In the garden, they will attract bees & butterflies. They also make a great long-lasting fresh cut or dried flower for arrangements. The deer resistant plants are able to grow well in heavy clay soils. A native of the African tropics, they are very tolerant of hot & humid conditions so are a great choice for containers that you may accidentally forget to water occasionally :) These half-hardy annuals can also reseed to bring you new plants the following year.
Please use caution - Parts of plant are poisonous if ingested.
