While blue mistflower is a beautiful plant, you should think carefully about where to put it.
Because it is so aggressive, it may not only outcompete weeds, but also your favorite slower growing flowers.
Blue mistflower's ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and moths makes it a great addition to pollinator gardens,
Its preference for moist soil can allow it to feel right at home in a rain garden.
North American native species like cardinal flowers, bee balm, and Joe Pye weed can make excellent companions for mistflowers.
All these plants are fast growing and spreading and enjoy moist soil and plenty of sun.
This means that not only do they enjoy similar conditions to blue mistflower, but they also are unlikely to be outcompeted by it.
They are also all popular with pollinators and can easily turn your weedy garden
