True to its name, this beautiful, hardy wildflower loves the colder climates of the higher elevations. Brilliant, purple tubular flowers on tall spires are irresistible for hummingbirds. Plant several in the middle to back of the sunny border with other hardy performers like Lance-leaved Coreopsis(Coreopsis lanceolata) or create a colorful wildlife habitat with the gorgeous Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella)and Bachelor's Buttons (Centaurea cyanus).
