Sweetly scented, deep-purple flowers almost appear black! The flower panicles appear in summer and bloom until frost on stately plants that have gray-green foliage. A wonderful plant to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Plants benefit from a late-winter pruning. Often slow to break dormancy in spring.
