This native selection was discovered at the wonderful Mt Cuba Center in nearby Delaware. The foliage emerges in the spring like purple flames. The flowers are often visited by butterflies and hummingbirds. Prefers consistent moisture so site it accordingly. Grows to 2-3 feet tall and wide.

Make sure to visit Mt Cuba Center if you want to see spectacular gardens using native plants. Mt Cuba also has great trial gardens to evaluate native plant garden performance.
