This stately wildflower adds architectural presence to long borders and meadow plantings. Native bees, butterflies and moths flock to its large, open clusters of vanilla scented, mauve pink flowers which appear above the rugged, green foliage on tall stems. Give it plenty of space and consistent moisture for best results.
