Meadow bistort (Bistorta plumosa)

Meadow bistort

Meadow bistort boasts a feathery array of delicate pink to purple inflorescences that gracefully nod in the breeze. Its lance-shaped foliage, lush and green, often emerges in a tight clump, suggesting its preference for community rather than solitude. Thriving in moist, but well-drained soils, these perennials favor cooler climates where they flaunt their plumelike blooms throughout the summer, providing a soft contrast to the more rigid forms found in the wild landscape.
