Huge plumes of fern-like foliage win this hardy wildflower a green medal! These tall, bushy plants unfurl their verdant display at summer's beginning, and clusters of cream wildflowers soon appear in the greenery. Fall brings out the brown seed heads which congregate nicely, and add autumn interest. Food for butterfly larvae too!
