This plant is grown for the flowers, which are a bee magnet. These plants are perennials and survived the Winter. In some climates the plant can be invasive. Mine does get larger each year, but I find it easy to contain to its allotted space.

The flowering stalks are forming. The plants are not covered with bees, since the weather is cold.
