Queen of the Prairie

Wow! What a magnificent scene Queen of the Prairie creates when it is in bloom. The full, fluffy, colorful plant fills deep seasonal borders, mixed gardens and large landscaping beds with plenty of soft, light texture and natural beauty all summer long. Gardeners anticipate the airy sprays of deep pink florets that cover the butterfly-friendly plants every year. Queen of the Prairie does very well in large decorative containers, too. Suggest customers place the pots on sunny patios, decks or porches for a touch of lighthearted drama and lush, seasonal color.
