Dark Purple stems; rosy flowers

In late spring, 'Gateway's vigorous shoots burst through the mulch. Wine-red stems develop large green coriaceous leaves, lending mass to the middle or back of the border. The dense, broad flower clusters bloom in a lavender-purple that's both strong and soft. This uniquely muted shade feels like fall, and blends well with other late bloomers. Try it with Rudbeckia or Aster cordifolius.

Joe Pye Weed. This is a good large-flowered and fairly compact (at 6') selection that rocks the border in mid to late summer. Big 10" pom-poms of dark reddish pink clustered flowers atop nice foliage on strong stems. Loves a rich damp soil where it can make big clumps.
