Blue Mist Flower October 27, 2022

 Blue Mist Flower is a perennial.  It grows into a huge plant.  I have let it get away from me this year, and I will have to pull some up (it is an aggressive re-seeder) but certainly not in the fall!  The fall is its time to shine.  If you're looking for a butterfly magnet, mist flower of any kind is the choice to make.  They are all wonderful. It dies back in the winter, and it can be cut to the ground.  Cutting it back before it sets seed is the wise thing to do.  I find it everywhere, and I am constantly pulling up seedlings.  They aren't hard to pull up if you do it when they are small.  The butterfly activity on this perennial every year is unforgettable.
