A resilient native perennial with stiff, dense “bottlebrush” flower wands in rich magenta-purple, rising above fine, grass-like foliage. Blooming from July through September, it brings gentle structure to the garden while supporting healthy ecosystems.
This plant is a valuable resource for native pollinators, including hummingbirds, and leaving the seedheads standing through fall helps provide food for birds. For cut flowers, harvest lightly—leaving at least one-third of the stem on the plant—to honor the plant’s natural rhythm and ensure continued growth.
Adaptable and easygoing, it tolerates a broad range of growing conditions, making it a dependable choice for gardens rooted in ecological care.
