One of the most vivid and striking late-season native wildflowers, with clusters of brilliant reddish-purple flowers that seem to glow in the late summer light. An absolute magnet for monarchs and swallowtails during fall migration. Thrives in moist soils and rain gardens. Tall and dramatic without being unruly.
