This perennial spreads easily, forming colonies in moist soils, which is great for naturalized plantings but may need control in small gardens.
Its late bloom period makes it an important nectar source for migrating Monarch butterflies.
Once established, Mistflower is low maintenance, drought-tolerant, and adaptable to a variety of soil types.
