These naturally bushy plants are adorned with flower spikes boasting open-mouthed, bicoloured blooms that are sure to turn heads. In hot weather, watch as individual flowers transform into solid red or white, adding an extra element of surprise. Not just a visual delight, the aromatic foliage emits a fine blackcurrant fragrance, enhancing the sensory experience of this charming plant. Perfect for cottage garden borders, containers, or as part of bedding schemes, 'Hot Lips' stands tall at 90cm (35 inches) with a spread of 60cm (24 inches).
