Tall, brilliant purple flower spikes that bloom from top to bottom, a striking and unusual trait among wildflowers. An absolute magnet for monarch butterflies, swallowtails, and bumblebees in midsummer. The vertical form adds wonderful contrast to meadow and border plantings. Thrives in moist soils but tolerates average garden conditions.
