An unassuming hero in the natural garden. Beloved by hummingbirds, bees and butterflies alike, this plant has many amazing traits. It's medicine, it's edible, it's infrastructure, it's beautiful. Provides 4 seasons of interest with early green foliage in spring, stunning purple flowers in summer, glorious fall colors, then stems and seed heads that persist all winter. Use it in newly establishing gardens for quick color and height. Let it seed around, persist for a few years as it will eventually fade away while longer lived species establish. Perfect for rain gardens or any medium garden soil. Looks better peppered in a vista than planted en masse. Show more
