The narrow, curving flower spikes on this eastern U.S. native meadow denizen are a very pretty lilac-rose. A vigorous, middle- or back-of-the-border perennial that forms colonies in moister soils and bears whorls of red-tinged leaves on branched stems tipped with the candle-like flowers, mostly in the second half of summer. Great with other loose and natural perennials like the grasses and fellow moist meadow plants, or paired with other late bloomers like Japanese anemones. Tough, reliable, and rarely needs staking.
This hybrid occurred at Washfield Nursery in England, with its suspected parents being E. davidii and E. acuminatum. It is truly a beautiful sight when in full blossom, with upright and dense sprays to 10ö of large lavender-pink blossoms and handsome, somewhat mottled foliage. Partial to full shade, well-drained soil.
Butterflies and gardeners will delight in this lavender-flowered sport with large, slightly fragrant flower heads boasting exceptional mildew resistance. Like all tall garden phlox this offspring of the legendary æDavidÆé tolerates drought but thrives in at least half a day of direct sun and moist, but well-drained soil.
An especially fine, long-lived and sturdy species with its extraordinary flowering effects. Erect stems to 8 inches, rising from low, tidy mounds of textured green foliage, carry dense whorls of lavender-rose flowers for an extended show in early to midsummer. The durable, pretty species is too rarely encountered in gardens.
Large pale lavender falls with contrasting dark violet veining throughout surround intense solid-purple center ôpetaloidsö. Another dramatic summer-bloomer with long, narrow leaves typical of the species. Adds summer color and a vertical accent to water gardens when grown in partially submerged containers.
(Translation: Seven-levels flower.) A lovely, demure, double-flowered form of H. serrata, to 3.5 ft., with narrow, jagged-edged leaves and corymbs of flowers surrounded by fully double florets of deep lavender. The foliage takes on orange tints in autumn.
