I saw a nice big stand of this in one of the tour gardens that had lots of other perennials. I honestly didn't know what it was until I looked at the tag. Don't recall ever seeing it in any garden around here before. Wish I'd known it was fragrant so I could have taken a sniff.

I bought mine last year, Ed, after seeing yours posted! Will have to go out and see if I can catch a whiff tomorrow. It's so tall I had to take a picture to actually see the tiny structure of those flowerheads. They kind of look like pink cotton candy from a distance
