Millenium is a plant with several benefits. Even before its flowers appear in July, its thin, long leaves are an attraction in themselves, forming a beautiful tuft, like a little porcupine, bright green shining in the flower bed. Its flowers then appear, beautiful balls of around 5 cm in diameter, purple-pink, on a stem 30 to 50 cm high. Another interesting aspect, the leaves and flowers are eaten, but hares and deer don't want them. In addition, the flowers are sterile, so the plant does not reseed.
