Shorter and more compact than most, this selection forms a dense, tidy clump of rugose green foliage topped with mauve pink flowers. It blooms a bit earlier than the species and continues into fall, benefiting pollinators for months. A good native alternative for the middle of the border. Introduced by: Darwin Perennials.
