An excellent variety with red-pink feathery flowers that fade to buff. Greyish foliage and a good upright habit add to the benefits. 75cm. Warm, sunny spot with well drained soil.

Given good drainage and a sheltered sunny position 'Shogun' seems pretty hardy and should come through most winters with a good mulch in the majority of the UK.
