Details
Cinderella’s pale pink, vanilla-scented, dense flower clusters attract butterflies and hummingbirds. This is a native perennial to all but the 6 most western US states. Although the plants prefer moist to soggy soils, they also grow well in ordinary garden soil. The plants are deer resistant and heat tolerant, too.
