This is a deciduous shrub with a spreading habit. It can spread by suckers to form a colony. At its branch tips, it produces slender spikes of small purple flowers with conspicuous yellow stamens. It is adaptable in the garden but may be best for an informal garden or a natural setting. The flowers attract butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators. It is a host plant for southern dogface and gray hairstreak butterflies, and silver-spotted skipper. References say that it is generally deer resistant but young plants and new growth may be browsed.
