More than 25 years later, the original plant continues to offer its treasure to bumblebees, hummingbirds and many other pollinators. Because it is essentially a prairie plant, we grow it in our mixed borders where its tall bloom spikes can complement grasses, roses and early flowering shrubs. The broad basal foliage is strap-like while the foliage on the stems is lance-shaped in appearance. Panicles of fairly large two-lipped tubular flowers bloom atop the flowering stems. April to June. 3.5 ft. x 1.5-2 ft. White flowers *Sun Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,*
