Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rounded clusters of bluish purple flowers are produced from mid spring to early summer and again in fall and butterflies and other pollinators are seemingly unable to resist stopping to partake of the nectar rich buffet. The Betonyleaf Mistflower is a native shrub-like perennial with a naturally rounded mounding and spreading habit. Use this beautiful native near the front of the garden or landscape as a groundcover, in mass, or allow it to spill over walls or from containers. Provide a full sun location and a well drained soil for the best results.
