  Perfect for the back of the herbaceous border, this statuesque perennial has blue-flushed foliage and an abundance of pale yellow and lavender flowers from mid-summer. The stems are tall and sturdy, which means that it rarely needs staking despite its height, and its light and airy silhouette ensures it never becomes oppresive.
  
  
• Garden care: May need supporting with brushwood or garden canes. Divide congested plants as new growth begins in spring, although divisions may be slow to re-establish. Resist cutting back the old growth until early spring.
