I don't know if it's just been an exceptionally good season for this plant or if I simply took it for granted all these years, but I think I need to use this more throughout my garden. This was a small division planted a couple of years ago. It's now easily 2 feet across and IMO at least, pretty stunning.. I know from past experience it will continue to bloom through most of the summer if deadheaded, although not to the extent as the first flush of blooms in the spring. The color is very easy to work with.

At around 18 inches tall, it's kind of that ideal height for my garden, the foliage is attractive, rain and wind don't phase it, the stems make great cut flowers and the scent is heavenly. I've been growing these for years, but not in a prominent area of my garden. Next year that is going to change. These are very cool plants.
