Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Nice heirloom perennial forms a clump 2' high and wide with stems topped by butterfly-attracting VIOLET frothy flower heads 3-4” across; softly fragrant summer thru fall. Full sun in the north and on the coast and part shade in hot sun areas; regular water and loamy well drained soils will make this plant happy! Ignored by both snails and slugs... go figure! Reseeds politely.
