Uses and Benefits: 'Denim 'n Lace' is ideal for modern borders, pollinator plantings, and prairie-inspired designs where strong form and low maintenance are key. Its compact stature and dense bloom make it perfect for smaller spaces and layered combinations. Loved by bees and butterflies, it also provides late-season colour when many perennials are fading.
