The contrast between striking foliage and creamy flower heads makes it a standout in perennial borders or pollinator gardens. This cultivar reaches impressive height while maintaining a tidy, upright habit, and performs steadfastly in moist to average soils. Its sturdy nature and eye‑catching form make it a refined choice for gardeners seeking both aesthetic and ecological value.
