Spikes thick with brilliant red-violet florets ascend through strongly minty leaves in late summer and into fall. In China, its native range includes valley stream-sides, rocky mountains, and dry hillsides. It's a great new bee attractant for us, both honey and bumble! Versatile when it comes to habitat and rare! Think of it as a sophisticated Buddleia.

It is best to prune in late winter as it blooms on new growth. 

Shrubby perennial; mature size: 3-5 ft T x W

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
