Ornamental & Landscape Value

Seasonal Interest:

Bright blooms from June through September, followed by attractive seed heads if flowers are not deadheaded.

Garden Value:

Valued for its long blooming season, bright flower colour, compact habit, and ability to attract bees and butterflies. Excellent for borders, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and containers.

Wildlife & Human Value:

Provides an excellent nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, throughout the growing season. The blooms also make attractive, long-lasting cut flowers for fresh floral arrangements.

Planting & Care Guide

Planting Considerations:

Plant in spring or early fall in well-drained soil. Space plants adequately to promote air circulation and reduce disease. Avoid heavy, poorly drained soils, especially during winter.

Care:

Plant in well-drained soil, and water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, it requires minimal care. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut stems back in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges.

Tolerances:

Drought, heat, deer, rabbits, poor soils, and urban conditions.

Tips For Success:

Grow in full sun for the heaviest flowering. Remove faded blooms regularly to extend the bloom period. Divide mature clumps every 3–4 years to maintain vigour and abundant flowering.
