This hardy native plant (zone 3) is suitable for revegetating banks and in rain gardens (collecting rainwater). Leafy stems grow 1.00 to 1.75 m tall, with numerous small spikes of purple flowers developing at the top. Flowering begins in July and continues until early September. The flowers attract butterflies. This plant is ignored by deer. A sunny or lightly shaded location and ordinary to rich, loose, and consistently cool soil promote the growth of this native vervain.
