Selected by acclaimed Belgian landscape architect and plant breeder Chris Ghyselen, this easy-going robust perennial yields spectacular legions of lithe extralong terminal spires crowded with petite purplish red flowers from early summer ’til frost. The steadfast stalks are clad in large, ripple-edged pointed green leaves that render a substantial, spunky foundation. Well-suited for adequately-moist borders, informal plantings or pondside, either as a stand-alone or en masse, ‘Purple Spears’ injects prismatic accents amongst America natives like Eupatorium ‘Purple Bush’ and Panicum ‘Purple Tears’.

Blooms late June–October
