Tough perennial with 20” spires of violet-pink from June to September in dense clumps that attract butterflies and reject deer! Clumps are eventually almost 2’ wide and bees also like to visit these plants. ‘Eveline’ basks in full sun and needs good drainage around her feet… water her regularly (will take drying between waterings). Deadheading increases bloom; we shear ours as the blooms fade to renew foliage and increase flowering.
