Want the butterfly party magnetism of L. aspera or L. ligulistylus without the "tall stalks blowing over in a storm" part? Check out the shorty version! Slightly shaggy purple flowers up to 1" across extend from the main stalk on short stems, giving it a zig zag feel. Happy in a rock garden or medium to dry, even sandy, well-drained soil. Deer and rabbits might go after this one, so a chicken wire cage would not be a bad idea until it gets going. The bumble bees and Monarchs are going to love you for adding this compact beauty!
