Super-sized flower clusters. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: July to October Hardiness: fully hardy Large, hyacinth-like flowers form in super-sized conical clusters, that top the strong, (mainly) upright stems for several months from midsummer. Opening from fresh green buds, the flowers are initially white, but take on a pink flush as they age. A spectacular sight when in full bloom, 'Skyfall' will make a handsome informal hedge, is compact enough for a large pot, and is striking enough to be used as a stand-alone specimen. Garden care: To enhance flowering prune hard in early spring, cutting back the previous season's shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant.
