    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Easy to grow perennial with 18”- 20” wide basal clumps of delightfully bluish-green ferny foliage topped by wiry flowering stems to 2’- 3’ tall late spring to summer, fluffy little bunches of filamentous lilac pink flowers; average to rich soil, medium moisture; full sun to part shade; resents heat with humidity; deer/rabbit resistant; attracts butterflies, pollinators. Cut flowers.

    Very delicate mauve spray of little flowers. Upright vertical plants with ferny foliage. A perfect woodland addition, but also works well used in a forward position in your flower bed as it has a see-through quality, bearing its airy flowers in a high spray.

    The delicate tracery of the 2-3' green-blue, columbine-like foliage adds a refined grace to the partly-shady garden. May to June finds it topped with many tufted mauve-pink flowers; a lovely addition to the perennial border or wild garden. PSh/M
