Plant description
Ideal for the larger wildflower garden, or for establishing new borders, this very pretty, summer flowering perennial is much more garden-worthy than the species. It spreads to form sizeable clumps relatively quickly, and from midsummer is crowned with tapering spires of white flowers. It's very impressive when in full bloom - particularly when used to illuminate an area of partial shade.

Easy to grow and undemanding, they should be deadheaded to prolong flowering, and cut down to just above ground level in autumn. Over-large clumps can be divided in spring or autumn.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
