May be considered invasive, but this perennial is really unusual! Control its spread by limiting the rhizomes in a large pot or with stone or brick border. The blooms (late summer) are fragrant! Makes a great cut flower in arrangements!

Propagated by dividing rhizomes, tubers, corms or bulbs (including offsets)
