Loyalist Plantain Lily is a hardy perennial, the backbone of the shade garden, grown for bold sculptural foliage. Loyalist Plantain Lily flowers in summer in shades of lilac, and performs best in part shade with moderate watering once established. This perennial matures to roughly 1-3 feet tall and 1.5-4 feet wide. It is ideal for perennial borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings, offering dependable colour that returns every year. Hardy to zones 3-9 and simple to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
