About This Product

Husker Red features a clump-forming habit with intense wine-red basal foliage that transitions to bronze-green as the season progresses. In late spring and early summer, it produces tall spikes of delicate white flowers with pinkish tinges. This plant is excellent for sunny perennial borders, cottage gardens, or pollinator plantings where it provides both color and wildlife value.
