    Its upright growth habit and unaromatic green leaves are similar to Artemisia lactiflora, but the purple-red stems of this Chinese species make it otherwise quite unique. The strong, upright stalks reach 4 ft. in the first season and hold large branched panicles of white flowers. In the company of other tall perennials such as Aster 'Bluebird', this plant will create a striking fall border. To highlight its reddish stems, plant Panicum virgatum 'Warrior' nearby.
