This fall-planted perennial blooms from late spring to early summer, showcasing numerous small, star-shaped flowers clustered into striking spherical heads. Easy to cultivate and resistant to deer and rabbits, it thrives in full sun to partial shade. For maximum impact, plant in groups of ten or more. Its dramatic height and unique form make it an excellent choice for beds, borders, cottage gardens, and stunning cut or dried flower arrangements.
