This vigorous, fast-growing plant is a cornerstone of the pollinator garden, as its nectar-rich blooms are a powerful magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds from midsummer through fall . With its arching, vase-shaped habit and silvery-green foliage, it provides a bold, colorful accent and a reliable late-season source of color when many other shrubs have finished blooming .
