Mist Flower is perfect for a shade to part shade area with some space to fill. The delicate light blue to purple flowers are a great compliment to the yellow blooms of fall. Blooms can last for a month to a month and a half if moisture levels are maintained. This plant will spread by both rhizomes and seed. Some spread can be controlled by deadheading and dividing in the spring.
