Buying in bulk? This species is available as a full plug tray (32 plugs) for $150 — that's $4.69/plug.

A graceful woodland-edge perennial with airy white spring flowers, but its best feature may be fall. The foliage turns a rich burgundy-red, making it one of the best native plants for fall color and a natural pairing with the gold foliage of Amsonia hubrichtii and the late blooms of asters. Adaptable to a range of light conditions, it fits well into a woodland garden or mixed border.
