This low-growing herbaceous perennial is a butterfly favorite which makes it a people favorite too! Fuzzy, lavender-purple flowers are borne in clusters atop branches of brilliant green, finely-textured foliage from early spring through fall. During this time, Gregg’s Mistflower can be recognized from afar by the constant butterfly traffic jam occurring around it. Though it may go dormant and even freeze to the ground in winter, its tough roots are hardy to 0oF and the plant quickly recovers in spring. Gregg’s Mistflower is lovely when planted in mass under the filtered shade of desert trees, and is great for containers near patios; where the entertaining butterfly activity can be enjoyed at close range.
