With its elegant star-shaped flowers, this Pink Profusion Bowman's Root will delight wherever you decide to grow it. Botanically known as Porteranthus trifoliatus 'Pink Profusion', this perennial develops a mass of delicate pink flowers that gently sway above its green foliage. As a compact plant with a maximum height and spread of around 2-3 feet, it is ideal for many shady spots. As the temperature begins to dip in the fall, its foliage can take on an attractive red autumnal hue.
The Pink Profusion Bowman's Root is native to North Eastern America and suitable for growing in USDA zones 4 to 9. Being naturally deer resistant, it is well matched to rural gardens and is drought tolerant once established. With an almost gaura-like form, Pink Profusion Bowman's Root makes a big impact when planted en masse in a border or when grown in a container.
Pink Profusion Bowman's Root Care
This Bowman’s root can be grown in full sun or partial shade. It prefers a well-drained but moist soil that is either neutral or slightly acidic. In general, any extra fertilization is rarely needed. However, an annual mulch of organic matter can be applied in spring to help give the plant a boost and reduce moisture loss. Regular irrigation is required to prevent this plant from drying out.
In early spring, the old stems can be cut down to soil level to make way for new growth. When grown in a container, this perennial will require more frequent watering than if grown in the ground.
Pink Profusion Bowman's Root Spacing
Once established, Pink Profusion Bowman's Root can grow to an eventual 24-30 inches high and wide. Often grown in groups for the best effect, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart to plan for their mature size.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
