This robust, herbaceous perennial features upright, clump-forming stems that support large, dome-shaped clusters of fragrant, fluffy pinkish-purple flowers from mid-summer into fall, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects. Recommended for hardiness zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil, making it ideal for rain gardens or naturalized areas. The foliage consists of lance-shaped, serrated green leaves which add texture to landscapes, and while its fall color is generally muted, its striking flowers and architectural presence stand out. Mature height ranges from 4 to 7 feet, with an expansive spread of 2 to 4 feet. Relatively deer-resistant, this plant is perfect for adding vertical interest and wildlife appeal to gardens.
