Sweetly scented, rosy-purple flowers on plants 3-4' tall. Try these easy, long blooming natives as cut flowers or for attracting butterflies. Crown-shaped flowers form clusters up to 2" across. In the fall, upright pods crack open, releasing seeds glistening with silky hairs. Perfect in meadows, wildflower gardens and as dried pods in arrangements. Sow outdoors in spring after last frost, or in late summer. Zones 4-9. Perennial.
