One of the very best of the new perennials, which have become so popular with garden designers in the last decade.

This has sculptural and unusual whorled foliage and then tall flower spikes which look good as they're coming out, in full flower and gone over. I have lots of this in the new perennial garden at Perch Hill and love it.

Ordered three plants mid-February arrived mid-April and planted out after very cold weather in soil with added compost in sunny well drained site under Birch tree. Result a stunning display in first year. So pleased - healthy plants fingers crossed keep giving.
Didn't do anything this tear

I planted these in a part-shaded clay bed that has strong sun for a few hours a day. Unfortunately, they didn't grow much at all and I just have no idea why.
However, I dug them up and potted them and they have grown some more and hopefully, I shall have more success next year. I think I bought 3 plants but now have 2 so I did lose one.

I came across this plant by accident whilst looking for another tall perennial. I love it. It is elegant and well behaved. It looks good before it flowers. Flowers forever to the good fortune of the Bees, and when the flowers are over it declines gracefully and shows its unusual leaves right into november. I am just about to cut it back now, in early november, just because it is in front of a penstomen that is still in flower ( another great favourite)
