I think I have the cultivar 'Jacob Cline'. I grow mine in a rain garden with other moisture loving natives like cardinal flower and swamp milkweed. It also blooms well, if not as long, at the front edge of a stand of switch grass with phlox as shown in the photo. Sorry, the photo posted oversize and cropped somehow?
