This introduction of our US native comes from Holland's designer extraordinaire, Piet Oudolf. E. 'Vintage Wine' occurred in Piet's garden as a self-sown seedling in a patch of E. purpurea. It was selected for its 2' tall, sturdy, upright habit and branched flower stems. The flat but short outfacing petals of a unique wine-pink (RHS 63A) color are darker toward the tip and top the plant from July through September.
