Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This native of North America loves sun and moist soil and offers dramatic flowering candelabras. Identical to the species, but with very pale pink flowers that almost glow in the early evening sun. If you want it to fit in nearer the front, cut back in May to get equally good flowers on 2’ plants. A must-have.
