The garden, in early summer, will never be the same once you discover this Texas native perennial with its large clusters of purple flowers.  Its leafy flowering stalks can grow up to 4' to 6' and eventually form wide clumps.  These are propagated from plants found growing along the Cibolo Creek in Boerne. Grows in almost full sun to half-day sun.  Looks best if given a deep watering every week during a dry summer. 

(Feed with 3 to 5 Agriform 21-gram, 2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.)
