Queen of the Prairie heralds fragile sprays of tiny pink buds in early summer. Floating above the surrounding plants, the cotton candy-colored plumes look exactly like the favorite carnival food. Color saturation often increases as the flowers mature, ranging from the faintest of pinks to rich, regal magentas. These blooms ascend from lovely, deeply lobed foliage that provide an attractive backdrop after the showstopping flowers are spent.
Queen of the Prairie produces an abundance of pollen for native bees and other pollinators. It is considered deer resistant, especially once established.
This one-of-a-kind native plant is considered rare throughout much of its historic range.
