This dwarf native shrub reaches heights of one to three feet, forming a tidy, rounded mound of fine-textured, pinnate green foliage. In early summer, it produces fragrant, upright spikes of deep purple flowers accented by bright orange-red anthers. Highly drought-tolerant and adaptable, it thrives in well-drained, rocky, or sandy soils and is an excellent choice for rock gardens or prairie restorations. Its nitrogen-fixing roots improve soil health while attracting various pollinators.
