Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist to wet, average to fertile soil. Space 3–4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base.

Care Tips

Water consistently and generously- this native species thrives with reliable moisture in moist meadows and woodland edges. Pinch stem tips in late spring to encourage a bushier, more compact plant. Cut to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide every 3–4 years in spring. The fragrant, vanilla-scented, dusty-pink flower clusters in late summer are outstanding for monarchs, swallowtails, and other butterflies. One of the most sweetly fragrant native perennials available. Largely pest-free.
