$8.99
Tall narrow & structural native perennial great for the background of a naturalistic flower bed.
Interesting white flowers, large leaves up to 8" in diameter with very showy silver leaf undersides (often shows in the breeze or wind). Often with darker reddish stems.
Late bloomer, adaptable and tough. Will seed around with fluffy seeds (deadhead, if you want them to stay put) - suitable for bigger gardens.
Blooming Time: July-August (flowers for 1 month)
Size: usually around 6' tall x 1.5-2' wide (in poor conditions only 3' tall, and in ideal conditions up to 7' tall)
USDA Zones: 4 to 8
Culture: full sun to part shade; average mosture, adaptable to soil types from sandy to loam, or heavier soils
Moisture Needs: average-medium to medium-dry
Origin: Midwest and eastern and part of central North America, see the BONAP distribution map, naturally grows in many habitats - in savannas, prairies, along streams, thickets, upland forests, woodland openings and slopes, on sandy soils to loam soils
Black Walnut Tolerant: yes
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: Doesn't attract too many pollinators, offers nectar and pollen to wasps, flies, and small bees. Host plant for larvae of lizard beetle (Languria bicolor), the larvae of a moth (Phyllocnistis insignis), and serpentine leaf-miners.
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: 3.5" x 4" perennial pot
Plant combinations: Plants are narrow, don't take up much space, but add dramatic height and the addition of a silver/red color. Great for partial sun/partial shade woodland-edge garden, cottage, prairie or rain garden, pollinator or native plant gardens, and as an interesting structure in the background of borders or for naturalization in bigger plantings. Due to it's adaptability to light and soil conditions can be combined with majority of native plants and their cultivars, or with common perennials and grasses.
