This is another Primrose Path introduction selected for its new good flower color, extended bloom time, and vigor. Individual flowers, densely born on 18-inch stalks, are a beautiful light pink fading to white over time. Flowering persists from mid-spring on into early summer. Deeply lobed, 4-inch leaves are attractively quilted and marked with a seasonally variable dark central blotch over shiny green. 'Pink Brushes' is a very vigorous selection and plants should make a dense clump in a short time. While most Foamflowers prefer shade and good, moisture retentive soil, this one seems to tolerate dry shade once established. 'Pink Brushes' will form 10 inch by 12 inch evergreen clumps. Would be pretty in front of any of the ferns. Cat# 1457
