Description

This eastern U.S. native requires at least a half day's direct sunlight and rich garden soil. It should be placed toward the back, as it will be 3-6' when blooming. From July through September, bright, purplish-pink flowers are abundant in large panicles at the top of stems. -Holland WIldflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:

Group plants with similar water needs together so that some plants aren't over watered to meet the needs of their more thirsty neighbors.

Never include shrub and lawn areas in the same sprinkler zone.
