Bred at Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon, 'Black Stockings' is a perennial that, when in flower, can reach 6 feet tall. It produces lacy green foliage that is topped with large lavender flowers in the late spring and early fall, but its long, jet-black stems are its claim to fame. Easy to grow in full sun to part shade, it prefers moist soil.
