Tennessee Smart Yards Native Plants 
I have several of these plants in my yard, and I can recommend it. I wouldn’t call it “pretty” as much as I would “very striking.” When it is in bloom, it really jumps out at you. It does spread but not what I would call rapidly so you don’t have to worry about it taking over.
