These stems form a narrow upright clump that tops itself with buds as late spring approaches. Snowy white, tubular flowers with just a hint of pink emerge in early June & continue into July delighting the neighborhood hummingbirds & butterflies with their nectar & delighting you with a color show that changes by the min while seed heads provide food for cardinals & finches in fall & winter. 'Husker red' Is drought tolerant & shrugs off poor, sandy soils without missing a performance beat in any sunny to partial shade garden.
