One of the most exciting nativar introductions from Intrinsic Perennial Gardens! Named for its red and smoky purple flushed foliage, this P. incanum hybrid spreads to form a small colony. White flowers with lavender accents are surrounded by showy silvery bracts and are highly attractive to pollinators. Tolerates clay soil, heat and mild drought.

This popular wildflower is one of the very best for pollinators, supporting a diverse group of native bees and butterflies. It is showiest in late summer when the entire plant appears to be covered in silver dust due to the showy bracts. Its dark green, mint-scented foliage spreads slowly by rhizomes but is easily controlled. Tolerates clay soil, heat and mild drought.

Very narrow, mint-scented leaves form a soft, billowy, well-branched clump that adds beautiful texture to native gardens, prairie plantings and rain gardens. Blooming a bit earlier than P. muticum, terminal clusters of tiny, white flowers attract native bees, butterflies and beneficial insects. Can spread aggressively; root prune to prevent spread.
