These heavy blooming, multi-colored wildflowers are a must have for every garden and meadow! Flowers begin to appear in mid-summer, and plants and blooms continually increase until a killing frost. Plants grow 2-4 feet tall, and are suburb as a cut flower. This is a favorite of the monarch butterfly, as well as many other butterflies and birds.
