A charming native perennial valued for its upright habit and late-season blooms. ‘Leiderhosen’ features strong, dark stems topped with distinctive white turtlehead-shaped flowers that appear in late summer to early fall. The narrow, dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the climbing blooms while adding texture to the garden.
