Its slender shape and long summer flowering make it an excellent choice for flower beds, borders and meadows. Very popular with pollinators, it attracts bees and butterflies while adding a rustic touch to the garden. Easy to grow, it adapts to well-drained soils, tolerates drought and requires little maintenance. Its dried flowers are also very popular for making long-lasting bouquets.
