Jumpseed is most striking when it is found in large, woodland colonies and in full bloom. Its bright white flower spikes contrast nicely against the green basal foliage. Because it tends to spread by seed and rhizome, it may not be suitable for highly formal woodland plantings.
Uses: Rain gardens, shade gardens, bees, deer resistant
Bloom time: July - October
Height: 24 to 30 inches
