The tallest species in its genus, this striking perennial sends up upright spikes topped with long, pinkish-purple tassels that bloom in July and August. Exceptionally low-maintenance and deer-resistant, it’s ideal for mass plantings or as a bold statement at the back of garden borders. A valuable pollinator magnet, it attracts butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and even rare moths with its nectar-rich blooms.
