Often found in woods, meadows, streambanks, and roadside ditches. The plant tolerates hot, humid summers. This 3-4 inch flower grows well in a large pot with support, and its attractive seedheads extend the season of interest into the winter. It has no serious pests
Note: Can spread aggressively by underground rhizomes. To keep the plant under control, divide clumps and deadhead old flowers to encourage rebloom.
Wildlife value: Supports Wavy-lined Emerald larvae. Nectar and pollen attract butterflies and bees. Songbirds, especially American Goldfinches, eat the seed in the fall.
