With foliage and blooms that seem to shift color in the light, greens, teals, silvers, purples, and blues, all in one stem. It’s stunning in the garden and in bouquets. And the tubular blooms and arching stems, draw in pollinators, in equal measures to how the colors draw us in. This one will self seed, so keep deadheaded, if you don’t want volunteers in your garden next season.
