A graceful, hazy plant with airy wands of white, star-shaped flowers from May to September. This exceptionally long-flowering perennial, with slender, grey-green leaves, looks equally at home in an informal cottage-style garden or among soft grasses in a perennial border. A major attraction to butterflies, it continues to flower through the first hard frosts of autumn into winter
