This striking herbaceous species, discovered in Armenia, forms a rounded, bushy plant reaching up to 1 metre in height. It features an abundance of vibrant red stems adorned with slender, blue-grey foliage, creating a beautiful contrast that adds both texture and colour to the garden. In summer, the plant is further enhanced by bright yellow flowers that bloom in clusters, offering a cheerful display that attracts pollinators.

Its ability to withstand challenging climates makes it an ideal choice for gardeners looking to create low-maintenance, water-wise landscapes. Whether planted in a sunny border, a rock garden, or as part of a Mediterranean-style planting scheme, this unidentified Armenian species brings a unique blend of colour, structure, and resilience to any setting. With its eye-catching stems and foliage, it offers year-round interest, even when not in bloom.
