In my opinion, this is an underused tall-ish cottage garden plant. This hardy perennial plant flowers in summer and if you chop the flower heads off as soon as they've faded, you get another flush in late summer/ autumn. It goes really well with several pink phlox paniculata varieties - the leaves contrast well and the colours complement.This plant will grow in most soils, will seed itself and can be divided in spring and autumn.
This is a hassle-free a great performer by all accounts. In early spring just remove all the dead stalks, leaving the emerging shoots. In an exposed site, this plant will need a little support if you want a compact plant.
