Queen of the Prairie is a stunner. The pink cotton candy flowers can be seen from quite a distance as they are held high on sturdy stems. Pollen-seeking insects, such as bees, will be rewarded when they visit; however, this plant is not a good nectar source. Over time, colonies are formed as the plant spreads by underground rhizome. It performs best in plenty of sun and wet soil rich with organic matter.
