'Tango' is one of a group of new, mostly dwarf cultivars, developed in Canada. They are called the 'Canadian Dance Series' (includes the cultivars 'Minuet', 'Rumba' and 'Samba'). 'Tango' is quite hardy (zone 4) with purplish-brown foliage and an abundance of purplish-pink flowers. Plants are compact, rarely exceeding 3 feet. This cultivar is readily available in my area.
