Description:
These tall perennials are a real highlight of my late summer garden. They are tall, flower well and look beautiful at the back of the border. They're a bee magnet!
Care:
These plants have a real habit of spreading so be thoughtful when planting them. We give ours the Chelsea chop to enable more flowers and later blooms.
