Dark and dramatic meets light and luminous in this stunning perennial. Deep, nearly black stems hold elegant spikes of pale lavender flowers with creamy white throats, creating a contrast that’s as striking as it is unforgettable. Perfect for borders, pollinator gardens, or as a bold statement in mixed beds, this long-blooming beauty brings moody sophistication and nonstop allure. Tough, hardy, and a favorite of hummingbirds, it’s not just a plant—it’s a performance.

Care Guide: Keep the Drama Alive

  1. Light: Thrives in full sun. The more light, the better the blooms, so let it soak in those rays.
  2. Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. Avoid heavy, soggy spots—this diva likes to keep its roots dry and happy.
  3. Watering: Water regularly during its first year to establish strong roots, then enjoy its drought-tolerant nature.
  4. Feeding: A light application of balanced fertilizer in spring keeps the blooms coming all season long.
  5. Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Cut it back in late fall or early spring for fresh growth.
  6. Hardiness: Hardy down to USDA zone 3.
