aka Gay Feather

Gay Feather. This will tickle your fancy - tufts of grassy foliage and summer flower spikes that are a soft purple shade and resemble a small 'feather duster'. They are unusual in that they open from the top downwards. Butterflies and bees love them. Plant in the sun in well drained soil Perennial.

This perennial has quite a hard thickened corm-like root stock which will form a clump and eventually can be divided.
