Growing 2 to 4 feet tall, it lights up the landscape in mid to late summer with dense, spire-like clusters of pink to purplish flowers that resemble floral steeples. These vibrant blooms are rich in nectar and eagerly visited by native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"932\" data-start=\"656\"\u003eNaturally found in wet meadows, streambanks, and low woodlands, Steeplebush thrives in moist, acidic soils and is especially well-suited to rain gardens or wet spots in the yard.
