A dramatic, stately perennial, which produces slender, bottlebrush-like, pale pinkish-white flowers in September and October above clumps of three-lobed, deep purple leaves. It's a useful plant, both because it comes into its own late in the season, when many flowers have finished, and because it thrives in damp shade
