Why we love it
- One of the most distinctive plants you can grow
- Leaf-like bracts in shades of pink and lavender stack beneath each flower, creating a layered, pagoda-like form
- Long bloom period, often lasting a month or more
- Short-lived, but self-seeds readily and reappears naturally
Why wildlife loves it
- A true pollinator magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbird moths
- Attracts beneficial wasps that help keep pest insects in check
Fun to See
- Predatory wasps drink nectar—an active sign of a balanced garden
What to expect at pickup
