Differing from the species by its shorter, more compact habit and denser inflorescenses, this perennial makes an excellent backdrop in perennial borders and wild sites where it may naturalize. Huge domes of mauve pink flowers held on wine red stems attract pollinators in droves. Introduced by: North Creek Nurseries
