  • Mistflower has attractive delicate flowers that are colored in pastel shades of pink, lavender, or blue. It is often planted in a garden setting, and will spread by rhizomes to cover the area in a lovely burst of colour in late summer and fall. This plant reaches up to 2 feet in height and does best with adequate moisture retention in the soil.
