Kan gärna kombineras med älggräs i rabatten, då både fackelblomster och älggräs trivs i samma marker och ser jättefina ut ihop. Dessutom kan fackelblomstern användas medicinskt, även om jag själv ser det som en garvämneväxt (=förstoppning):
"Powders were made from dried leaves and decoctions from the roots. These were used to treat chronic diarrhea and dysentery, as well as leucorrhea and "blood-spitting." Green or dry leaves were also used to heal wounds, ulcers, and sores. Describing human use of this herb in Palestine, Zohary (1972) said, "The young leafy shoots are eaten as vegetables; the flowering branches are used in folk medicine to prepare astringents, tonics and styptics."
