This resilient native perennial has stiff, dense “bottlebrush” flower wands of 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 if you leave the seedheads standing through fall, it will help provide food for birds. For cut flowers, harvest lightly, leaving at least one-third of the stem on the plant.
Adaptable and easygoing, it tolerates a broad range of growing conditions, making it a dependable choice for gardens rooted in ecological care.
