2016 Perennial of the Year!

Thinking I need to give this plant a try this year.  Maybe two of them!

Just read an article by RCTC's Horticulture Dept.'s Robin Furth-Dugstad and I'm  inspired to give this plant a chance in my flower bed!  I can always use flowers that bloom late summer to freezing temps!

Robin suggested being sure to mulch it for winter as its roots are shallow and allow 3 years for it to reach maturity.  Robin also recommends part shade is best.  I can do that!  Even grows in clay!
