Madison ★★★★★

Planted these in a sunny spot last month and the purple spikes are already drawing in bees from all over the garden. The height is perfect for the back of my border, adding nice structure without needing staking.

Edward Y. ★★★★★

These are already 60-80cm tall in their first year, and the flower spikes just keep coming. The deep purple really holds its color even after a few days of rain.

Brian ★★★★★

The purple spikes are seriously abundant—every stem seems to carry three or four, so the whole clump looks solid from a distance. It’s hit about 70cm in my border, which fits perfectly behind lower perennials without flopping over.
