Moist wildflower garden. As it is tall and thin, it's best planted as a group toward the rear of other plants.

Interesting pink veined foliage, showy flowers. Often lies on its side with the flowers held somewhat above the rest of the plant. Has an extremely deep taproot.  Is notoriously difficult to transplant. Small specimen plant.

The range of this plant barely makes it into Florida and only 2 locations have been documented.  It is not rare in states to the north. Garden flower for wet sites. Blooms in late summer-early fall.
