"I bought 2 last fall and both are lush and healthy. I'm looking forward to the blooms and pollinators."
"Looking forward to mature plant and flowering."
"As other reviewers have remarked, it sprawls. The flowers are constantly visited by bees and butterflies. This plant is a main player in my little pollinator garden, and because of its low height, it plays well with taller plants like echinacea and lavender. It has expanded its footprint noticeably since I planted it last year."
"I bought three plants to attract pollinators, and they are dancing from dawn to dusk with native bees, moths, and honeybees. The pink flower clusters are long-lasting. The growth habit is more low and sprawling than I expected, so I didn't get the plants sited best for that. The description does say ""low-spreading stoloniferous mats of foliage"", which is what it's doing. Overall, a ""good doer"" in my garden."
"I grow exclusively in containers with MiracleGrow potting soil, and exclusively for pollinators, primarily bees of all types. This plant grew well but quickly developed elongated stems in full sun. It was just beginning to bloom three months after arrival when I decided that it didn't fit my needs and I pulled it up. If I were to grow it again I would prune the stems early to about six inches and see how that would work."
"Not only is this a beautiful plant, but the pollinators love it!!! Both the foliage and the flowers are gorgeous and it smells fantastic (if you like the smell of oregano). I loved how well it was packaged and that the majority of the packaging was recyclable or plantable."
"Used in my border along front of house. Bees and butterflies love this and so do I!"
"I love this plant. I planted it in mass and it bloomed and bloomed. I put it along a walkway that was kinda narrow and it turned out great. Very happy. Soil wasn't very good but the plant didn't seem to mind"
"It is alive, had to grow from roots very small."
"This spring I put in my first perennial garden. I was limited to what plants were available here and so ended up with 4 of these. All have survived my attempts at keeping my plants alive. They are hugely successful with the bees but the stems with the blooms are on the ground. So either the blooms or too heavy or something else is going on. I have left them that way. The bees don't seem to care. The garden is in a full sun area but gets hit by the yard sprinkler system so it may not be ideal. I also used bark mulch which I am getting the sense that is a bad thing. Oh well. I hope they come back next year."
Introduced to the U.S. by Dan Hinkley, this is an improvement on the taller flower cultivars like Herrenhausen. 'Rotkugel' is more floriferous and has a more mounding habit in flower. The plant forms low-spreading stoloniferous mats of foliage that come into bloom from August through October. The flowering stems have large, loose heads of bi-color flowers with dark purple calyces and deep pink flowers. Butterflies love this plant! Cut back to green basal growth in spring.
