Never saw the plant before relocating to this part of the country, and now it's one of my favorite plants. It's hardy, easy, looks great, grows like the dickens but doesn't spread like a weed. We had some landscaping done and accidentally split a couple of mature plants in moving things around, and now I can't tell which were the split ones, and which survived whole - they all look great!
This year, I'm putting it everywhere. It can have the whole yard as far as I'm concerned.
Great picture!
Thanks! Another great thing about them is that they are a great forage plant for native bees during the late summer into autumn.
